U.S. Trust was founded in 1853 and chartered by the State of New York. It is the first and oldest trust company in the United States.[1] The venture was backed by a group of wealthy men who invested $1 million in the company, at the time named United States Trust Company of New York.[1] The inaugural board of trustees included thirty prominent New Yorkers. Among the founding investors were Joseph Lawrence of the Bank of the State of New York and then Mayor of New York who was appointed president, and John Aikman Stewart of the United States Life Insurance Company of New York who assumed the role of Secretary. Other founders included inventor, philanthropist and industrialist Peter Cooper, department store founder Marshall Field, Shepherd Knapp, President of Mechanics National Bank of the City of New York, and railroad developer and iron and steel manufacturer Erastus Corning.[2]

In the mid-1800s, U.S. Trust had a list of wealthy clients and played a role in major construction projects including railroads and the Panama Canal. Many of the company’s corporate clients issued securities to finance these initiatives, allowing U.S. Trust to serve as corporate trustee. The boom in industry and enterprise also helped to grow U.S. Trust's business in managing personal trusts. In the 1880s and 90s U.S. Trust clients included William Waldorf Astor, Jay Gould and Oliver Harriman.[1]
