| Company History: | Thanks to Bill
Schuler, Jr., billruthschuler@juno.com,
for the following history of DCNB: "Delaware County National Bank was chartered in November of 1814 and continued under the name of DCNB until January 1, 1970 when a consolidation between Delaware County National and National Bank of Chester County created Southeast National Bank of Pennsylvania. Southeast National was acquired in July of 1983 by Fidelcor, the holding company for Fidelity Bank of Philadelphia. In September of 1984 Southeast National was merged into Fidelity Bank. Later on Fidelcor merged with First Fidelity Corp of NJ and First Fidelity was then acquired by First Union." |
