Add a meaningful detail to a desk, den, or home bar with First Union history close at hand. From its 1908 Charlotte founding as Union National Bank to its broad interstate expansion, First Union became a memorable symbol of changing regional banking. The company’s path through CoreStates, First Fidelity, and the 2001 Wachovia transaction gives this coaster added collector appeal. It is a useful tribute for former employees, bank-history followers, and Charlotte enthusiasts.
First Union began as Union National Bank, founded by H. M. Victor on June 2, 1908, at a small banking desk in a Charlotte, North Carolina hotel lobby. A 1958 merger with First National Bank and Trust Company of Asheville created First Union National Bank of North Carolina. The company added mortgage banking and insurance firm Cameron-Brown in 1964, incorporated as First Union Corporation in 1967, and reorganized key banking and mortgage operations as subsidiaries in 1968. After regional interstate banking legislation was upheld in 1985, First Union pursued rapid expansion, completing more than 90 banking-related acquisitions by its 2001 merger with Wachovia. Major transactions included Atlantic National Bank in Jacksonville, First Fidelity of Newark, CoreStates Financial of Philadelphia, and Bowles Hollowell Conner & Co. First Union completed its purchase of Wachovia National Bank on September 4, 2001, becoming Wachovia Corporation and adopting the Wachovia name and ticker symbol. Wachovia later merged into Wells Fargo.

Ceramic coaster engraved with a simple, vintage-style wordmark that brings a quiet, archival charm to a coffee table or office desk. The cool ceramic top takes heat and condensation with calm confidence while the cork backing keeps cups steady and surfaces safe.
