History

East Boston Savings Bank, the subsidiary of the company, was established in 1848 by some merchants and shipbuilders, as a result of the booming commerce in Boston.[8][9]

In 2006, Meridian Interstate Bancorp, Inc. was established as a bank holding company for East Boston Savings Bank. It seeded the de novo Hampshire First Bank which was itself acquired several years later.[8]

In 2009, Meridian Interstate entered into a merger agreement with Mt. Washington Cooperative Bank of South Boston, Massachusetts. The merger was consummated in early 2010 and Mt. Washington Bank now operates under its name as a division of East Boston Savings Bank.[8][10]
