The year was 1851. Millard Fillmore was president of the United States. Much of the West was still a wild frontier. The Connecticut River was in its heyday as a center for ship building and international commerce. Majestic sloops and schooners plied the waters of the river on their way to the Sound, the gateway to the Atlantic and the China trades. That year, a group of forward-thinking shipmasters, businessmen and entrepreneurs gathered together seeking to form a bank that would provide a safe harbor for their fortunes and a financial resource for members of the local communities. The first meeting of the corporators of the newly named Essex Savings Bank was held July 30, 1851, and the bank opened for business one week later on August 6. The first deposit book was issued to Susan Pratt with an entry of $150.00. The first president of the bank, Henry L. Champlin, was one of the most accomplished sea captains of his time. He was shipmaster and owner of the first London line of packets from New York, of which he was commander for many years, never losing a vessel. After retiring from seafaring, he continued as a successful ship owner and built a beautiful home on Champlin Square in Essex. Through the years, Essex Savings Bank has played a vital part in the lives of those in the communities we serve. We've taken pride in helping our customers build their homes, educate their children and create livelihoods that contribute to the prosperity of the Connecticut River Valley.
