As the oldest business in Sevier County, the bank has been a key factor in the community’s growth - starting businesses, encouraging fiscal and civic responsibility, even facilitating church expansion and social interactions. Sevier County Bank’s legacy and its role in the region’s future is a responsibility the bank’s leadership takes personally and seriously. With that in mind, the bank has taken significant steps over the last two years to learn from the past and shape a new vision for the future. Management has been focused on building a deliberate, documented strategy for meeting those needs for the next century. The bank has a rich history and tradition but cannot rest on its laurels. As our community changes - so shall we. Meeting the needs of today’s customer (and tomorrow’s) is a moving target, requiring constant change, flexibility and vision. As with any endeavor, success is directly related to the caliber of people involved. Sevier County Bank has been fortunate throughout its history to engage people who have core values like compassion, responsibility, ethics, thoroughness, and professionalism. Values like these cannot be imposed on employees. They have to come from within. Understanding that all business comes down to people and relationships – these are the tools Sevier County Bank will use to help our region, and our customers, continue to grow. The bank’s new tagline puts it…”We’ve been preparing for your business for over 100 years.” Charter Member FDIC | Equal Housing Lender
On September 6, 1638, Secretary of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Simon Bradstreet, received an agreement from Governor Winthrop and the General Court giving him and eleven other men the right to begin a plantation north of the Merrimack River. This land grant included the towns of Amesbury and Merrimack, Massachusetts as well as the New Hampshire towns of Seabrook, South Hampton, Newton, Hampstead, Plaistow and Kingston. This town, bordered by the Merrimack River and the Atlantic Ocean, originally named Colchester, was incorporated as Salisbury in 1640. Salisbury grew over time based on upland farms, salt marsh estuaries, building boats along the river, and its position on a major overland trade route to the north. When railroads were introduced, the line followed earlier routes from Newburyport heading to Portsmouth, aided by the low, gentle landscape that generally lacks steep hillsides or rocky terrain. With railroads, growing wealth and leisure time, and an emerging middle class, Salisbury`s unbroken sandy beachfront beckoned to vacationers, establishing an economic engine that remains important and provides image and identity to the Town. In the nineteenth century the oceanfront became an object of interest to people who were beginning to shed their earlier, close ties to the land. Tourism and recreation at the beach soon became a prominent feature and the beach district saw the arrival of hotels, amusements and retailing, which continue to operate today. The Beach district has held onto its carefree resort character into the present, where the emphasis is focused on the ocean, amusements and relaxation. The modern Salisbury is highly diverse geographically, encompassing square sixteen miles of farms, beach, marshlands and both residential and commercial space. As of the year 2000, nearly 90 percent of this area, or 9,200 acres, was in various types of open space. Nearly forty percent is forested, while more than a third is wetland and estuary. Ten percent is in open and agricultural land, and four percent is recreational. The Great Marsh and estuaries of the Merrimack River make up the largest linked bodies of open land. The Town includes four distinctly different areas: Salisbury Beach, a barrier beach with miles of beautiful sandy Atlantic Ocean beaches and salt marshes surrounding dense residential and commercial beachfront development, Salisbury Plains, featuring farms and suburban homes set in fields and rolling woodlands, Salisbury Square, a colonial village center with churches, municipal buildings and village residences, and Ring`s Island, once a colonial fishing village facing Newburyport on the Merrimack River and now supporting a neighborhood of restored antique homes and riverfront marine businesses.
