History

The company traces its roots to St. Patrick's Day 1839, when Northwestern Bank of Virginia opened an office in Parkersburg (now in West Virginia); every St. Patrick's Day, it gives shamrocks to its customers.[1] That office eventually evolved into Parkersburg National Bank.

In 1982, Parkersburg National began reorganizing as a holding company, United Bankshares. In 1984, United commenced full operations when it acquired Parkersburg National and two other banks.[2] Richard Adams has been chairman and/or CEO of United and its predecessor, Parkersburg National, since 1975.[2]
