Raise a glass to a corporate name that helped define Charlotte’s rise as a banking center. Founded in 1908 as Union National Bank, First Union became a major regional financial institution through a far-reaching acquisition era that included First Fidelity and CoreStates. In 2001, its purchase of Wachovia brought a new name to the combined company. This whiskey glass offers a conversation-starting keepsake for banking-history collectors and former First Union loyalists.
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.
