About US
The Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce started in 1949 under the leadership of Jackson Square pharmacist, Carl Harmon. The organization of the business community was difficult due to the Korean conflict and the high demand of goods and services. Through the early years, the Chamber was instrumental in the fight for the private land ownership and self-government of Oak Ridge. Chamber committees and councils were established to unite the businesses and develop resources to build up the community, and has since grown to include over 500 members.
