PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, a subsidiary of Codorus Valley Bancorp, Inc., is donating its PeoplesBank Building (1 Manchester Street, Glen Rock, PA) to the Borough of Glen Rock Pennsylvania.
PeoplesBank, A Codorus Valley Company, was originally founded as “the First National Bank of Glen Rock, Penna” in 1864. It was one of the first businesses established since Glen Rock’s historical incorporation in 1859, and the bank served as a catalyst of economic growth in the post-Civil War era, continuing in that tradition into the present.
