The first credit union in America
1908
Manchester, New Hampshire
French-Canadian millworkers on Manchester's west side, unwelcome at the banks downtown, pooled their pay in 1908 into La Caisse Populaire Sainte-Marie, the first credit union in the United States. The model spread to over a hundred million American members. St. Mary's Bank is still operating, still a credit union, and keeps a small museum in the house where it started.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
