Why did it take almost 150 years before the U.S. had a permanent central bank?

Considering the modes and cost of transportation at that time, most people never ventured beyond their local towns or states. As a result there was a strong desire to keep federal government and the centralization of power to a minimum and it was mainly due to the frequent and devastating bank panics that the Federal Reserve was finally created.
