History
Today's Chamber of Commerce had several predecessors in the earlier years of the city's history. Its lineage traces back to the first Huntington Park Improvement Association, founded in 1904 by the City Fathers who subsequently founded our first School District and Incorporated the City. The Improvement Association, after a little more than a year of existence was expanded into the Huntington Park Board of Trade. Later, when Pacific Boulevard began to develop into a commercial street, there was the Pacific Boulevard Association.
