Historical marker, 1984

TEXAS AMERICAN BANK/McKINNEY N. A.

FORMERLY THE COLLIN COUNTY NATIONAL BANK

THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION WAS ORGANIZED ON MAR. 13,

1883, BY A NUMBER OF McKINNEY'S PROMINENT CITIZENS AND

BUSINESS MEN. AMONG THOSE FINANCIAL PIONEERS WERE

JAMES W. THROCKMORTON, WHO HAD SERVED AS GOVERNOR

OF TEXAS IN 1866 AND 1867; G. A. FOOTE, THE BANK'S FIRST

PRESIDENT; H. M. MARKHAM, VICE PRESIDENT; W. l. BOYD, CASHIER,

COMMUNITY; AND AREA LEADERS J. S. WHITE, T. B. WILSON, T. C.

GOODNER, T. H. MURRAY, E. M. McAULEY, AND G. A. WILSON. WITH AN

INITIAL $75,000 IN CAPITAL STOCK, COLLIN COUNTY NATIONAL BANK

GREW STEADILY DURING ITS EARLY YEARS AND BECAME

A LEADER IN THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY.

THE BANK WAS HOUSED FIRST ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF

THE COURTHOUSE SQUARE. IT REMAINED AT THAT LOCATION

UNTIL JAN. 7, 1932, WHEN IT MOVED INTO THE FIRST NATIONAL

BANK BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE SQUARE. IN 1856,

LARGER FACILITIES WERE NEEDED, RESULTING IN THE CON-

STRUCTION OF A NEW BUILDING AT 222 N. TENNESSEE STREET.

THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, THIS FINANCIAL INSTITUTION HAS

PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

OF McKINNEY AND COLLIN COUNTY.
