The history of the Toronto Dominion Bank is an interesting one. The efforts of a small group of Ontario businessmen from the agricultural field culminated in the creation of bank with their own specialized needs in mind. In 1855, a charter was granted for The Bank of Toronto. In 1856 the first branch was opened in Ontario and by 1860 was opening branch banks outside of Ontario.

On February 1, 1955, the Bank of Toronto and The Dominion Bank merged after shareholder approval to become The Toronto-Dominion Bank.
