The Talbot Bank, a member of the Shore Bancshares community of companies, recently celebrated its 130th Anniversary. The Talbot Bank was founded by Jerome Bennett in 1885. The state charter was granted on June 4, 1885 and the bank opened for business on July 1, 1885 at the Dover Street location which still operates as the main headquarters. Six branches were added from 1977 to 2008, the first in Easton at the Tred Avon Square Shopping Center, then St. Michaels, Elliott Road in Easton, Cambridge and finally Tilghman.
The Talbot Bank anniversary was celebrated from June 4th to June 13th with special drawings and promotions along with free giveaways at each of its six branches. Dayne Nelson was the winner of a new Apple iPad Air Tablet when he entered the New Regular Checking Account Drawing. Justin Pokrywka also won a new Apple iPad Air Tablet after entering the Customer Appreciation drawing. Three local newlywed couples qualified for the Lucky Brides promotion when they were married during the celebration week of June 4-13, 2015. Each couple received $130 deposited into their Talbot Bank joint checking account.
The Talbot Bank along with its affiliates throughout the Shore Bancshares community of companies is poised to help clients with their banking, investments and insurance for the next 130 years.
