CNB: Today’s Technology and a History of Progress

Since 1903, The Conway National Bank has been a trusted friend and an agency of opportunity for generations of families, businesses, and individuals. Equipped with the most advanced technology, and with offices throughout Horry County and the Waccamaw Neck, CNB is a modern bank operating on time-honored principles of community service.

Until the shriek of a train whistle finally opened Horry County to the outside world, no banks existed in Horry County. All of that changed with the railroad which came to Horry County in 1887. By 1903, a railroad was running between Conway and Myrtle Beach, primarily to haul timber, but also taking increasing numbers of passengers to the new seaside resort of Myrtle Beach. A small group of civic and business leaders saw the need for another bank and on June 5th received the charter for the Bank of Horry. Tradition holds that the bank had its beginning when S.C. Congressman Robert Scarborough took a vacation to his Conway hometown around 1902, accompanied by his secretary, Will Freeman.

Freeman had served as the first mayor of Chadbourn, N.C., and in the U.S. Diplomatic Corps before working with Scarborough. During his Conway holiday, Freeman went fishing in the Waccamaw River, caught a heavy string of fish, and gave notice that he was not returning to Washington. The Congressman suggested establishing a local bank instead; and when the charter for the Bank of Horry was issued in 1903, it listed Scarborough as president and Freeman as cashier and teller.
