MARKER TEXT

Sea Island Bank​

​

    In 1901, the second bank to open in Statesboro – Sea Island Bank – took its name from the area's staple crop, Sea Island cotton, and moved to its present location in 1912. Like every bank in town, it closed during the Great Depression, but reopened quickly and still serves our community today.
