It all began on St. Patrick’s Day 1839 when we opened our doors in Parkersburg. In the years to follow, the Bank survived - and often thrived - through economic cycles including natural disasters, recessions, and depressions, by focusing on the communities it served. Through a combination of hard work, integrity, strategic acquisitions, and unrivaled customer service, United has grown to be one of the top 50 largest banking companies in the United States.
In 1987, United Bankshares, Inc. became a publicly traded company, and just a year later, hit the $1 billion mark in total assets. Today, and 34 acquisitions later, United Bankshares, Inc. has total assets of nearly $33 billion and more than 240 locations across eight states - Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia as well as Washington, D.C. - each built on strong a foundation of customer service and commitment to community.
