Biographical History
William Sargent Ladd was born in Holland, Vermont in 1826. He arrived in Portland, Oregon in 1851 and took a job as a clerk in a mercantile store (which he later purchased). In 1854, after serving one term on the city council, Ladd was elected mayor of Portland. With his business partner Charles E. Tilton, Ladd later established the first bank in Oregon (1859), the Ladd & Tilton Bank. Over the course of his business career, he acquired extensive property holdings and a number of profitable commercial interests. Following his death, settlement of Ladd's considerable estate required a lengthy period of probate.
