J.P. Morgan Chase’s roots trace back to 1799 with the founding of the Bank of the Manhattan Company by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. The J.P. Morgan branch began as Drexel, Morgan & Co. in 1871, founded by financier J. Pierpont Morgan and banker Anthony Drexel. This firm was instrumental in financing major industrial consolidations, including the creation of U.S. Steel. Chase National Bank was founded in 1877 and later merged with the Bank of the Manhattan Company in 1955 to form Chase Manhattan Bank. The 2000 merger of J.P.
