Record #:
12857
Abstract:
First Union's beginning was modest. In 1908, H. M. Victor put forth a proposal to organize The Union National Bank of Charlotte. After raising a $100,000 through stock sales, he set up his office at a desk in the main lobby of the Buford Hotel, and the bank began. In 1988, First Union marked its eightieth anniversary.
