In 1814, Charles J. Wister founded the Bank of Germantown. In 1864, after Charles Wister’s son, William Wynne Wister, was elected president, the bank was renamed as the National Bank of Germantown. The bank was located on Main Street near Market Square, Germantown, Philadelphia. As the only national bank in Germantown, it held a distinctive place within this historically interesting residential and manufacturing district.
