Welcome from the Board President
Welcome to Grimes County and the Grimes County Chamber of Commerce. Here we support businesses of all types and sizes and offer something for everyone.
​
Whether you're looking for a new home, school, place of worship or work, a nice spot to eat or enjoy a wine from one of our local winers- our community offers it all.
​
From agriculture to beautiful scenic drives, small town life and more- making a trip to Grimes County is well worth it. So stay awhile, do business here, shop here, live here and stop by to say hi sometime!
