In
1904, the Bank of Atmore opened its doors, and, 100 years later, what is
now United Bank celebrates its centennial with this important historic
volume, compiled by the late Charles Karrick of United Bank.
The History of the Bank of Atmore traces the journey of the bank
through not only banking milestones, like the creation of the FDIC and the
advent of ATMs, but through human milestones as well. Shown here are
World War I and the Great Depression, World War II, the first moon
landing, Vietnam, hurricanes and tornadoes, softball games, and
picnics. Narrating from the beginning of checking accounts to
Internet banking, the History of the Bank of Atmore is more than
just the story of a bank; it's a slice of the integral history of
America. At its heart are the people and places of Atmore, Alabama,
spotlighted as they move through time with United Bank at their side.
