History

The origin of the New York Stock Exchange can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by 24 stock brokers on Wall Street in New York City under a buttonwood tree. On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the “New York Stock & Exchange Board.” (This name was shortened to its current form in 1863.) Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange’s first president.

The first central location of the Exchange was a room rented for $200 a month located at 40 Wall Street.

The building was destroyed in the Great Fire of New York (1835), after which the Exchange moved to a temporary headquarters.

In 1863, it changed its name to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).

In 1865, it moved to 10-12 Broad Street.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) was created in 1896 by Charles Dow, co-founder of Dow Jones & Company, a financial news publisher. This figure was calculated by tracking the stock prices of twelve different companies and taking their average.

Published in The Wall Street Journal, the DJIA quickly became a popular indicator of stock market activity.

The volume of stocks traded increased sixfold in the years between 1896 and 1901, and the NYSE needed a larger space to conduct business.

Eight New York City architects were invited to participate in a design competition for a new building and the Exchange selected the neoclassic design from architect George B. Post. Demolition of the existing building at 10 Broad Street and the adjacent lots started on May 10, 1901.

Avon History

In 1886, 34 years before women in the U.S. earned the right to vote, our founder, David H. McConnell, helped give them the chance to earn an independent income.

He didn’t set out to create a beauty company. In fact, McConnell was a traveling book salesperson and offered beauty products as an additional perk to his female customers. He saw that these women were more interested in the free perfume samples than the books – and that many of them stayed home while their husbands went off to work. Since women had a passion for his products and loved networking with other women, McConnell was inspired to recruit them as Sales Representatives. From a small New York City office, McConnell himself mixed the company’s first fragrances.

Community Health Systems History

For nearly 30 years, our organization has been keeping healthcare close to home in cities and towns across the nation. Our affiliated hospitals deliver a wide range of health services and function as vitally important members of their local communities.

As one of the largest hospital organizations in the nation, our size provides an advantageous economy of scale and critical resources to help local hospitals identify and act on opportunities. As a result, these hospitals have made significant investments in healthcare services, physician recruitment, facility improvements, modern medical technology and, most importantly, an ever-strengthening commitment to clinical excellence.

Acquisitions also have fueled our growth. Dozens of individual community hospitals and small healthcare systems have joined our organization over the past decade. The successful integration of these facilities, along with the large scale acquisitions of Triad Hospitals, Inc. in 2007 and Health Management Associates, Inc. in 2014, has made us the largest publicly traded hospital company in the nation as measured by number of hospital facilities.

In 2007, CHS nearly doubled in size with the acquisition of Triad. In 2014, the organization’s size once again increased significantly with the acquisition of HMA.
Today, our organization includes 197 affiliated hospitals in 29 states. Across these hospitals, more than 135,000 employees and 22,000 physicians on their medical staffs share a fundamental commitment to quality, compassionate care.

In addition, our subsidiary Quorum Health Resources, LLC provides management and consulting services to approximately 150 independent hospital clients.

Community Health Systems, Inc. is headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, and our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CYH.
