The narrative delves into the bank's establishment amid significant historical events, reflecting on its unique charter that originally combined water supply initiatives with banking privileges. The book details the establishment of the Manhattan Company and its transformation into a banking institution in 1799, driven by notable figures such as Aaron Burr. It chronicles its early challenges, including the need for a reliable water supply in New York City and the eventual pivot to providing banking services. Notably, the Manhattan Company maintained profitability from its inception, expanding its operations and maintaining sound banking practices over the decades.
