East Boston Savings Bank’s rich history began in the Noddle’s Island area, a center of commerce highlighted by shipbuilding, carpentry, sugar-refining, and iron foundries. Those early merchants and world-famous shipbuilders were the leaders in the formation of East Boston Savings Bank.
On January 17, 1849, the first official business day of the Bank, 57 people deposited $2,999.00 at the Bank’s Maverick Square Office. The next day,
the Bank’s Board of Investment voted to purchase 15 shares of stock in the Merchant’s Bank of Boston and so began over 16 decades of growth, prosperity and prudent asset management for the merchants and residents of East Boston.
168 years later, following growth in size and scope (including a merger with Mt. Washington Cooperative Bank), East Boston Savings Bank has become the largest community bank in Suffolk County, holding assets in excess of $4 billion.
