Summary "Bank of the Manhattan Company, Chartered 1799: A Progressive Commercial Bank" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book outlines the origin, history, and progress of the Bank of the Manhattan Company, one of the oldest banking institutions in New York City. The narrative delves into the bank's establishment amid significant historical events, reflecting on its unique charter that originally combined water supply initiatives with banking privileges. The book details the establishment of the Manhattan Company and its transformation into a banking institution in 1799, driven by notable figures such as Aaron Burr. It chronicles its early challenges, including the need for a reliable water supply in New York City and the eventual pivot to providing banking services.
