Description:
About 1954 community leaders tried to organize a Chamber of Commerce. There were 21 charter members who paid $5 dues each. Austin Floyd was the first Chairman of the Bridge City group. J.B. Scales, Sr. was acting secretary. The committee was inactive until 1956. Reorganization was expected to benifit the move to obtain a bank for Bridge City although an active chamber was not mandatory before a charter could be obtained for a bank. By a "show of hands" at a meeting on April 11,1957 the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce was reorganized. With the business community growing, by 1959 the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce began to function. The chamber was active in business and community development looking forward to the city's incorporation. The first chamber of commerce president was Jay Eshbach.
