Chambers of Commerce and Industry were established in the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 19th century in several towns. Suppressed because of the Balkan Wars and the War of Independence, they were legally reactivated after the proclamation of the Republic in 1923.

TOBB was established on 7 February 1952, then composed of 32 Chambers of Commerce and Industry, 8 Chambers of Commerce, 1 Chamber of Industry and 20 Commodity Exchanges.
