Pulaski Bank evolved to assist community members in saving money and purchasing homes. The name 'Pulaski' was chosen in honor of General Casimir Pulaski, an Old World nobleman and hero of the American Revolution. As a young man, General Pulaski met American emissary Benjamin Franklin and, after learning of the American colonists' struggle for independence, he proceeded to America, joined Washington's Army and was granted a commission as Brigadier General of Cavalry, the first of such rank in the Continental Army. After a brave defense of Charleston, South Carolina, General Pulaski died with his cavalry in battle at Savannah, Georgia, in 1779.
