GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Mark the season with a ceramic ornament celebrating First Union and its place in Charlotte business history. From the 1908 founding of Union National Bank to the company’s 2001 transition into Wachovia, the First Union name represents a memorable era of regional banking growth and corporate change. Hang it as a distinctive addition to a holiday tree, office display, or collector arrangement dedicated to financial history and legacy American brands.
First Union began as Union National Bank, founded by H. M. Victor on June 2, 1908, as 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 Cameron-Brown, a mortgage banking and insurance firm, in 1964 and incorporated as First Union Corporation in 1967. A 1968 reorganization established the corporate structure used until the Wachovia merger. Following the 1985 Supreme Court decision supporting regional interstate banking legislation, First Union pursued rapid expansion, completing more than 90 banking-related acquisitions through 2001. Key deals included Atlantic National Bank, First Fidelity of Newark, CoreStates Financial of Philadelphia, Bowles Hollowell Conner and The Money Store. On September 4, 2001, First Union completed its purchase of Wachovia National Bank and became Wachovia Corporation, adopting the Wachovia name and ticker symbol. Wachovia later merged into Wells Fargo in 2010.
