1 Dollar Bank of New-England at Goodspeed's Landing - Connecticut

Goodspeed's Landing was little more than a steamboat stop on the Connecticut River in East Haddam — an unlikely home for a chartered bank, but Connecticut's liberal banking laws of the period made such arrangements routine. The Bank of New-England at Goodspeed's Landing operated from 1852 and became mildly notorious for the distance between its charter location and its actual business activity, a gap that regulators increasingly scrutinized through the late 1850s.
