We also lead volunteer service activities for employees in local communities by utilizing our many resources, including those that stem from access to capital, economies of scale, global reach and expertise. Our Local History With a legacy dating back to 1799, we have a history of demonstrating leadership during times of both economic growth and financial instability. J.P. Morgan's presence in Spain dates as early as 1869, when J.S. Morgan & Co., the London-based firm established by J. Pierpont Morgan’s father Junius, issued an £8 million loan to the Spanish government, its first government loan to a European nation. In 1949, Chase National Bank (a firm predecessor) made its first loan to Spain, a $25 million credit secured by gold. In 1962, Chase Manhattan Bank, formed by the merger of Chase National and the Bank of the Manhattan Company, opened a representative office — followed by Morgan Guaranty three years later. In 1979, Chase Manhattan and Morgan Guaranty opened Madrid branch offices. In 1987, J.P. Morgan & Co. led the country’s first two matador bond issues, foreign bonds issued in Spain by a non-Spanish company. Three years later, J.P. Morgan launched a 10 billion peseta bond issue for the Kingdom of Denmark. This was the first time a debt issue was brought to market in Spain for a foreign sovereign government.
