2 min read

PARKERSBURG -- United Bank will continue a long-standing tradition Monday, giving customers free potted shamrocks in honor of its 186th anniversary.

"No company has been serving West Virginia longer than United," said Richard M. Adams Jr., CEO of United Bankshares Inc. "We have been able to achieve significant milestones and tremendous growth over the years thanks in large part to the support of our communities - particularly here in West Virginia. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to building and strengthening our relationships with our customers and local communities."

United Bank's story began on March 17, 1839, in Parkersburg. Since then, the company has grown to reach more than $32 billion in assets and over 240 locations.

Recently, for the first time in the bank's history, United reached the position of No. 1 bank in West Virginia by deposit market share. The bank's parent company, United Bankshares Inc., remains on an exclusive list of companies that have increased dividends to shareholders for more than 50 consecutive years.

United continues to celebrate its position as one of the top five Most Trustworthy Banks in America, as named by Newsweek. And following its recent acquisition of Piedmont Bancorp Inc., the parent company of The Piedmont Bank, United has expanded its business into greater Atlanta.

United Bankshares Inc. is the largest publicly traded company headquartered in West Virginia. United has offices throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Washington, D.C.
