The corporation was formerly named the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC), but was renamed in the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act to recognize the corporation's trade development work in the connected Great Lakes region.[1]

Its Canadian counterpart is the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation, a non-profit corporation under Canadian law.

President Joe Biden appointed Adam Tindall-Schlicht to the role of GLS administrator on November 6, 2022.
