The Stroudsburg Bank was chartered on 1857 and served the town of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania (Monroe County), within the Pocono Mountains of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In 1779, Jacob Stroud sold lots and started a development which later became Stroudsburg. When he died in 1806, Daniel Stroud, Jacob’s son, inherited the land and in 1810 he laid out the borough of Stroudsburg.
In 1815 a form of government was chartered and in 1816 a committee was formed to provide a school. The first newspaper, The Stroudsburg Gazette, started publishing in 1832. Stroudsburg was named the Monroe County seat in 1836 and the first session of court was held the same year.
The borough was incorporated in 1837 and the Stroudsburg Bank opened in 1857.
The act organizing the Stroudsburg Bank was passed on the 9th of January, 1857, and its charter obtained on the 23rd of June of the same year.
Its officers under the charter were Depue S. Miller, president; James H. Stroud, cashier
; and its board of directors,
Jay Gould
, Stephen Kistler, Henry M. La Bar, Thomas W. Rhodes, Charles D. Brodhead, John Boys, Stroud J. Hollinshead, David D. Walton, Michael Shoemaker, Charles Saylor, Morris Evans, William S. White and Depue S. Miller. The presidents in succession since that time have been S. S. Dreher, Stogdell Stokes, William Wallace and Thomas M. Mcllhany.
