Banks

    The State Bank was established in 1815 at Savannah. Legislative act
authorized the establishment of a branch at Milledgeville.

    The increasing business demanding enlarged banking facilities, an act was
passed in 1818 establishing the Bank of Darien with branch at Milledgeville. The
substantial brick building of the old Darien Bank still stands a memorial of the
past. For long years a tenement house, it was recently bought by an enterprising
lady and converted into an elegant apartment house with a Tea-room adjoining.
    An act to incorporate the Bank of Milledgeville with banking and insurance
privileges was passed Dec. 22nd, 1835. The incorporators were:

    Seaton Grantland, Farish Carter, William San-ford, Green Jordan, Thomas
Moughon, Charles Malone, Nichols and Demming, Richard K. Hines, Thomas Ragland,

DeLauney.

    Capital stock, $500,000 divided into 5,000 shares of $100 each and
apportioned among the stockholders.

    These twenty-five men of the county were without exception men of
distinction, lawyers, Congressmen, editors, doctors, merchants, and men of large
estates and prominent in county and State affairs.
