Some history:
The Irving Trust Company had been founded as the Irving Bank in 1851 in New York's Washington Market area to serve the needs of local merchants and food distributors. It then evolved through a series of mergers and acquisitions that began in 1907 when the Irving Bank merged with the New York Exchange Bank. Throughout this century the bank continued to expand, culminating in the 1988 acquisition of the Irving by The Bank of New York, which created today's modern, international financial institution.
The Bank of New York’s history began on February 23, 1784, with a small advertisement featured in The New York Packet,
“It appearing to be the disposition of the Gentlemen in this City, to establish a BANK on liberal principles, the stock to consist of specie only; they are therefore hereby invited to meet. . .”
A meeting was held the next evening at which prominent New York citizens launched The Bank of New York.  Alexander Hamilton, a highly respected New York attorney and future statesman, was enlisted to write the new Bank’s constitution and became the individual most actively involved in the organization of The Bank of New York, guiding it through its early stages, and leaving a lasting imprint on its philosophy and operation throughout its history.
