North Georgia Credit Union, 249 E Franklin St, Hartwell, GA 30643, US

HistoryThe CU was chartered on November 8, 1963 as Wright Manufacturing Employees Credit Union. The sewing plant owner, Ernest Wright, had been loaning his employees money from his own personal money. A need and common bond was established causing the employees to come together to form the credit union. The CU added several other divisions from within the parent company of Oxford Industries over the years. Textile business began opening factories more frequently out of the country and sewing plants began laying off its employees. In 1993, Wright Manufacturing Co. announced its closing and the CU moved to an outside location, changed its charter to include other SEG groups, and changed its name to The Wright Credit Union. The CU also merged two other credit unions, Orbit Industries Savings and Loan Association and Toccoa Casket Federal CU into the membership.
