Norwood Trust Company was started as the Norwood National Bank on January 1, 1907, in a building on the corner of Washington and Vernon Streets.
In July 1917, it was announced that the Norwood National Bank, with $100,000 in capital, was to be liquidated and would be succeeded by the Norwood Trust Company. The liquidating committee consisted of C. T. Wheelock and C. A. Rathbone.
Judge James Halloran, who was a director of the Norwood National Bank, was named Vice President of the Norwood Trust Company in 1918.
The Norwood Trust Company and the Norfolk County Trust Company merged on June 30, 1945. The business of Norwood Trust Company continued as the Norwood Office of Norfolk County Trust Company.
The bank has undergone many changes and had many names in the 100+ years since then. It is currently vacant and up for sale.
