History
Established in 1907.
Our story starts in 1907 when a local group of businessmen in Rockland, Massachusetts decided they needed a bank to "promote the business activity and growth of Rockland and its vicinity." Receiving approval on September 10 of their proposal to take over the First National Bank of Rockland, they created Rockland Trust Company with $200,000 in assets. In 1910 we took advantage of the latest technology to introduce 'automobile banking.' In a model T Ford, our bankers brought Rockland Trust directly to the people in communities around Rockland that had previously been without convenient banking facilities. This began our long history of innovation in serving our customers. In 1917 Rockland Trust moved into a newly erected building at 288 Union Street in Rockland, which remains the Bank's official headquarters. Then-Vice President Horace T. Fogg marked the occasion with these words which are still as true today, as they were over 100 years ago.
