Newpedlar Banking Center! Capturing the history of Holyoke and the latest cutting-edge banking technology in the NEW Pedlar Banking Center! Proudly brought to you by S2 | SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2019 PEDLAR BANKING CENTER THE REPUBLICAN | MASSLIVE.COM very community has one, perhaps a few. That location, a street corner, or a building that serves as the hub of a neighborhood or the stake that grounds a community. For Holyoke, the Yankee Pedlar was just that. A place of pleasant memories and milestones and, for decades, a gathering spot that helped weave the unique fabric that made E Holyoke what it was and what it is today. I would like to think that PeoplesBank is one of those locations. Born and raised in Holyoke and a major employer as well as supporter of civic causes, PeoplesBank would not be what it is today had our founders not gathered that day on March 17th 1885 – St. Patrick’s Day, and started our community bank. Today, we retain the same charter, a mutual charter, which although not well understood, is really the reason we are a success and can celebrate with the city the opening of the historically preserved, Pedlar Banking Center. Put simply, a mutual charter means that we are responsible to our customers, not stockholders, which enables us to invest in innovative services and support for community causes. While we have infused the new iteration of the Pedlar with technology to make banking more convenient for our customers, we have also restored its place as a Holyoke gathering place with its large community room. We are also happy to add to the City’s growing green reputation and will be applying for LEED®-certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for the Pedlar Banking Center supported by its environmentally friendly construction and features. Like a lot of area residents, I have many fond memories of the Yankee Pedlar. It is the hope of all of us at PeoplesBank, that the new Pedlar Banking Center will help preserve some of our collective memories as well as foster some new ones. - Tom Senecal, President & CEO Remembering the Past, Celebrating the Future CONGRATULATIONS to our client PeoplesBank on the historic restoration of the Hildreth House and the opening of the new Pedlar Banking Center.

    Holyoke Collection, 1794 ‐ Present 1794 – Present Day [bulk: 1870‐1950] 200 boxes (234 linear ft.) Collection number: MS 201 ABSTRACT The Holyoke Collection reflects the diverse history of this immigrant, industrial city. While the collection has only a small amount of personal papers, there is much that documents the city’s rich ethnic communities, their social lives as well as their work lives. The records of numerous clubs and businesses as well as hundreds of photographs tell the story of the city and its people, especially from the 1870s through the 1950s. From the Rand family account book of 1794 to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Souvenir books of the 1970s, the history of the city of Holyoke and its people is well documented by this collection. Terms of Access and Use: The collection is open for research. HISTORICAL SKETCH Holyoke was founded on 19th century water power technology, and populated by immigrants from its beginnings in 1847. Before Europeans arrived, Native Americans depended on the river. The river served for centuries as a natural and generally peaceful boundary between Algonquin peoples on the east side and Iroquois tribes, such as Mohawks, to the west. The Iroquois nation had expanded to the north from the southern Appalachians, home of the Iroquois‐ related Cherokee Indians. Colonial explorers travelled up the river into this area from Hartford, Connecticut in 1640, soon after English Puritans founded Boston. Elizur Holyoke and Roland Thomas led surveys of Springfieldʹs boundaries, which then extended to Hadley and Northampton on both sides of the river. The first European settlers were fur traders and planters.
