Historical Sketch

In 1836, the charter of the Branch Bank of the United States with the federal government expired and a new charter was voted whereby the Agency Bank was rechartered by the state of Pennsylvania. In 1840, the new charter was suspended and on July 31, 1841, the bank was ordered closed by the United States government.
