First Tennessee, part of the First Horizon National Corporation, is a financial services company based in Memphis, Tennessee. First Tennessee provides financial services through more than 180 locations in and around Tennessee. The company was founded during the Civil War in 1864 and has the 14th oldest national bank charter in the country. ==Corporate History== Frank Davis, a businessman from Ohio, came to Memphis to open the first federally chartered bank in Memphis. Though the city was under martial law after being captured by Union forces in the Civil War, First National Bank was officially chartered for business on March 25, 1864. The bank survived the war, but other disasters followed. When the 1878 yellow fever epidemic swept over Memphis, killing thousands and forcing most of the remaining citizens to flee, First National Bank’s doors remained open to help distribute relief funds. Despite floods, recessions, the Great Depression, and wars, the bank grew from a modest local bank in the shadows of the Mississippi River to a thriving regional financial service company with locations across the state. Today, now known as First Tennessee, the bank has begun expanding beyond the state of Tennessee with commercial banking and private client services available in an increasing number of markets in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「First Tennessee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
