o . / UNION BANK OLDEST - IN THE STATE. “In Business in New London Since 1792 —First Dirsotors Were Divided Be- tween Norwich and New London. It is very likely that a good many eastern Connecticut people who knew that the Union bank of New London had made application to the legisiature for permission to conduct the business ¢f a trust company in oa:‘nrfio: wit!: its regular banking activities do nol know that the Union benk is the old- est in the Such is the fact, Uwever, for it was chartered in 179: d while & bank in Hartford and au aer in New Haven were chartersu the same legislative session, it was later than the action that gave the Cnion permission to do business. It may also not be generally known that at the time the Union began business there were but sevem other banks in the United States. They were: Bank of North America, Philadel- phia, 1781. Massachusetts bank, Boston, 1754. Bank of New York, 11_"1:0' York, 1784. 2. Now Hampshire bank, 1792, The first name proposed for the Union bank was Bank of New Lon- don and Norwich, prominent citizens of both places being interested in the institution, and the board gf directors being divided between representatives of the two cities. That name was en- tirely too long for use and it was changed to the one that has been usel for 121 years, which met all of the necessities In the way of being de- scriptive. The first stockholders’ meeting was held March 5 1782. Hom. Richard Law was chosen moderator and Wil- llam Lefingwell made clerk. The following directors Were elected: Gea. Jeddediah Huntington, Joshua Lathrop, Marvin Wait, Joshua Howland, Guy Richarde, Joseph Willlams, Samus! Wheat, William Stewart, Daniel L. Coft, Edward Hallam, Samuel Wood- bridge, Joseph Peckham and Georse Phillips. At a meeting of the directors held /" June 5, 1792, a vote was adopted which Qirected the president, General Hunt- ington, to provide an office, seal, desk, scale weights and the necessary books for carrying on the business. The president was also authorized to procure from Philadelphia 16 reams of paper and plates for bank notes. Gold was ordered, received and paid out at the bank at the rate of 89 cents s pennyweight. Two witnesses were required on all notes taken at the bank and the rule adopted was that no loan should be made for a lonser period than 60 days. The first location of the Union bank | was in a brick building at the south- | west corner of Water (then Beach) | and Hellam (then Mumford) streets. | The State street buflding was erected | in_1817. | In spite of the long history of the | bank there have been but compara- | tively few changes in the principal of. | ficlals. Hon. George F. Tinker s president of the Iinstitution, having | succeeded the late Willlam H. Chap- | man. The other presidents have been: | 1793, Gen. Jeddedlah Huntington; 1818, | George Hallam; 1825 W. P. Cleveland; | Jonathen Starr; 1863, Robert } 1858, Willlam H. Chapman. Carlos Barry is the present cashier of the bank, having succesded the lats 3. Lewrence Chew. The other cashiers o have served were: 1752, John Ma - lam; 18300, Robert Hallar-- 1827, Eb- enezer Learned: 1385, Joseph C. Sls- 1851, Charles G. Sistare; 1860, L. C. Learned; 1865, J. Lawrence Chew. Tn April, 1365, the bank reorganized under the national banking act, but in 1881 it resumed its state charfer, un- der which it has continned to do business ever since.
