In 1936 J. Wesley Beasley opened the first office of Carolina Bank on Railroad Avenue in Lamar, Darlington County, South Carolina. Today, Carolina Bank serves communities located throughout northeastern South Carolina. And since its founding, three generations of the Beasley family have, and continue to manage the daily activities of the bank. J. Wesley Beasley’s ideal, that the community is best served by a locally based bank that is in close touch with the needs and desires of the people it serves, is as true today in practice as it was in his first branch office in 1936.
