After the dissolution of the Improvement District of Ajax, came the formation of the corporation of the Town of Ajax. At about the same time, a group of interested Ajax business people met and realized a need for a Chamber of Commerce within the new Town.

The first recorded Executive meeting of the Ajax Chamber of Commerce took place on February 26th, 1955 while the inaugural dinner and charter night was held on October 25th, 1955, in the original Recreation Centre, then called Rotary Hall.
