1872

  Along with the abundance of natural resources, the growth of commercial agriculture and the distribution capability of the railroad, the establishment of banking supplied the final ingredient needed to solidify the development of Longview's expanding economy.

  The first bank in Longview, F.J. Harrison & Company, was chartered in 1872 and located at 213 East Tyler Street. Between 1872 and 1913 five more banks were founded in downtown Longview.

  The alley, running east and west at Fredonia Street received its name, Bank Street, because at one time or another, a bank was located at each of the four corners of the intersection.

  Downtown Longview was firmly established as the East Texas banking center and became the heart of commerce for the area.
