Chittenden Bank celebrates century

CHITTENDEN BANK CELEBRATES 100 YEARS SINCE CHARTER
Burlington, Vermont - One hundred years ago a group of Burlingtonians
decided that a need existed for a new financial institution in Burlington.
On December 7, 1904 Chittenden County Trust Company was established and
given two years to gather the capital to start operations.
The founders of Chittenden County Trust Company were John. J. Flynn,
Edward J. Booth, J.H. Macomber, E.F. Gebhardt, W.B. McKillup, E.P.
Woodbury, A.O. Humphrey, J.S. Patrick and R.A. Cooke. On March 30, 1906,
these individuals organized what is today Chittenden with only $50,000
capital.
"Chittenden has been a part of the Vermont community since 1904. One
hundred years later, we remain a significant part because of our employees
and our interest in the communities and the customers we serve" says
Kathleen Schirling, Director of Marketing with Chittenden Bank.
"Chittenden has grown significantly since our start in 1906, but as I look
back at our history through the years, I find one thing that has not
changed--our people! They distinguish themselves by dedicated and
exceptional performance across the entire organization. They
enthusiastically participate in planning and implementing. The
creativity, dedication and teamwork of our Chittenden family is the reason
for our past progress and is the foundation of our future growth. Our
people have a commitment to change, but we also have a dedication to those
traditional values, which have always been at the core of Chittenden,"
says Schirling.
