The Farmers and Mechanics Bank was chartered in 1856, and its founding location was in Rochester Village, New Hampshire. They operated for several years through the end of the decade at this first location with some success, where they printed one series of banknotes, most of which were never issued and circulated. By 1860 the banks Board of Directors decided to move the bank to the nearby village of Gonic, ceasing any and all remaining banknote issuance. The bank became the First National Bank of Gonic in accordance with the National Banking Act of 1865, which was later liquidated on January 14th, 1879.
