Amex birthday... thanks to Wells and Fargo


On March 18, 1850, Henry Wells and William Fargo founded an express mail business in Buffalo, New York – they called it American Express.

Exactly two years later, Henry and William expanded into California, creating a new company to provide the Wild West with express mail and banking services – this one they called Wells Fargo.
