Once the United States won the Revolutionary War, there was interest in setting up a banking system, including a central bank. Thus, the first bank that we know about was established, around 1797. Located in Philadelphia, it was inspired by the leadership of Alexander Hamilton, the first US Secretary of the Treasury. It was named the "Bank of the United States" (later renamed the First Bank of the United States), and in its first incarnation, it was in operation from 1797-1811.
