GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
The First Union Youth Hoodie / Sweatshirt connects a younger generation to a memorable chapter of American business history. First Union started in Charlotte as Union National Bank in 1908, grew through regional expansion and major acquisitions, and became Wachovia in 2001. The design is a fun nod to North Carolina heritage, banking-industry nostalgia, and the lasting appeal of classic corporate names for families, collectors, and future business-history enthusiasts.
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.
