The Salmon Falls Bank located in Rollinsford, New Hampshire was incorporated on July 3rd, 1851, with a capital of $50,000. The banks creation was influenced heavily by the Mason & Lawrence Co. of Boston who had recently acquired the Salmon Falls Manufacturing Company shortly before the bank's incorporation. The bank and several houses were built by the company to persuade workers to come to the Salmon Falls village for work and living. The bank operated independently until 1964 when they merged with the Somersworth Bank, becoming the Somersworth-Rollinsford Savings Bank.
