Among its founding commissioners were Edward Tatnall, James A. Bayard, Jr., William Lea, and Mahlon Betts. James Price was its first chairman. Its first cashier was William P. Brobson. James Canby was an early president. Later officers included Isaac Starr, Victor Du Pont, and Preston Lea.[1]

In 1943, the bank was acquired by Wilmington Trust.[2]
