History

Glens Falls Bank opened in 1851, making it the first bank in Warren County. In 1864, a fire destroyed the bank. It was rebuilt following the fire and re-opened as the Glens Falls National Bank in 1867.[1]

On January 6, 1870, a group of thieves robbed the bank, using dynamite and wet blankets. Approximately $20,000 ($422,000 in 2021) was stolen.[1]

Glens Falls acquired the Fort Edward National Bank in 1950, making it the bank's second branch.[2] In 1963, Glens Falls built another Washington County branch in Fort Edward.[2] The Fort Edward office of Glens Falls National Bank was officially opened on July 21, 1971.[2]

In December 2021, Glens Falls National Bank closed its Fort Edward branch.[2]
