How long has New York Community Bank been serving customers?

New York Community Bank was established as Queens County Savings Bank on April 14, 1859 by four prominent residents of the town of Flushing, and grew at a modest pace to 14 branches as of the end of 1999. On December 15, 2000, the Bank's name was changed to New York Community Bank to better reflect the expansion of the franchise beyond Queens County--the result of merger transactions and, to a far lesser extent, de novo growth. Today the Bank has 128 branches serving customers in New York; 41 in New Jersey; 28 in Ohio; 26 in Florida; and 14 in Arizona.
