Historical Context
The First National Bank of Woodbury was formed in Woodbury, New Jersey in 1865.
The bank eventually became part of the Wells Fargo system.
Woodbury, located in Gloucester County, was founded in 1683 by Henry Wood, a Quaker from the Northwest of England, who had left Great Britain due to religious persecution. Wood was incarcerated in Lancaster jail for practicing as a Quaker and left his home in the village of Tottington, near Bury, Lancashire, in a boat to set up a community in the new world where he and his family could practice his religion freely. His surname and his home town went to make up the name of the city he founded – Woodbury.
