On April 12, 1853 the New York State Legislature passed a bill granting formal approval for the creation of the very first trust company, chartering the United States Trust Company of New York. We are the oldest trust company in America. Five days later, on April 17, 1853 our founders convened to hold their very first board meeting. By June 30, 1853 they had selected a board of trustees that included 30 prominent New York industrialists, merchants, bankers and civic leaders. The board elected Joseph Lawrence, former president of the Bank of the State of New York and Chamberlain (Mayor) of New York City, as U.S. Trust’s first president. John Aikman Stewart, who would go on to serve U.S. Trust for over 73 years, was appointed secretary of the new trust company. U.S. Trust was chartered with the goal of creating a new kind of corporation, a company built for the long term, with values to outlast the fashions of any one age. A company designed to grow with the country, promoting positive economic and social change. A place for safeguarding personal and corporate wealth. Since then, in the face of almost unimaginable upheaval, from the Civil War to the digital revolution, we’ve remained true to that vision, and we continue to hold dear our founding tenets: Fiduciary responsibility, client service and leadership of the financial community. Happy Anniversary to U.S. Trust!
