Garden State National Bank ("Garden State") was an American mid-size commercial bank located in northern New Jersey that enjoyed success in the increasingly wealthy New Jersey suburbs of New York City during the 1970s.
The significant media coverage it received during that period was more due to the various M&A transactions considered by its colorful CEO, Charles A. Agemian and by its majority investor, Warner Communications. It was ultimately subsumed into Fidelity Union Bancorporation of Newark (which later became part of Wachovia) in 1980.
