The Chamber was incorporated on Sept. 4, 1985 by local business leaders Johnny Murphy, Charlie Stafford and Bob Ward. At that time only about 20 to 25 businesses even existed in Richmond Hill, according to first Board Chairman Johnny Murphy.
 
Over the past three decades, both the Chamber and Richmond Hill grew significantly; with the current Chamber membership roster boasting 380 members and Richmond Hill/Bryan County being one of the fastest growing communities in Georgia and nation-wide.
 
2017 Board Chairman Trace Palmer invites Chamber members and guests to come and enjoy a fun, festive evening at Fish Tales. “This evening is a way we can celebrate the Chamber and its members and on behalf of the entire board, we want to thank our members for their support and involvement in making Richmond Hill/Bryan County such a wonderful place to live, work and play,” Palmer added.
