North Fork Bank

North Fork Bancorp is a commercial bank holding company headquartered in Delaware.  North Fork Bankcorp was founded in 1980, and acquired North Fork Bank and Trust in 1981.  North Fork Bank and Trust was founded in 1905 under the name Mattituck Bank, and changed its name to North Fork Bank and Trust Company in 1950. During the 1950’s, three other banks located on the north fork of eastern Long Island were merged into North Fork Bank and Trust. North Fork Bank and Trust then expanded its branch network to other areas of Long Island, NY.
