The Britton & Koontz names have been by-words in banking since 1836 when William A Britton, his brother Audley C. Britton, and George M. Koontz established their private banking firm in Natchez, MS. It was in 1866 that they consolidated their interests and organized Britton & Koontz Bank, a partnership.
Today Britton & Koontz Bank is nearly a $400 million dollar bank headquartered in Natchez, Mississippi, the oldest settlement on the Mississippi River in Mississippi's southwest corner.
