First National Bank of Huntsville Details
On January 14, 1890, Gibbs National Bank, now First National Bank of Huntsville (FNBH), opened its doors for business on the downtown square in Huntsville, Texas. Prior to 1890, the Gibbs Family provided banking services to the citizens of Huntsville through the family mercantile business that was opened in 1841. Located on the corner of what is known today as Eleventh Street and Sam Houston Avenue, customers rode their horses on streets made of dirt and tied them on posts outside of the mercantile doors. The Gibbs family soon realized the need many had to secure their valuables and the family allowed customers to safely stash their items in the family vault.General Sam Houston traded regularly in the Gibbs store and thought so highly of Thomas Gibbs that he named him as an executor of his will. By 1890, the Gibbs family acquired a national bank charter and the Gibbs National Bank opened directly next door to the mercantile store. In 1923, the bank changed its name to First National bank of Huntsville, and the name remains unchanged to this day.However, the bank has evolved and grown exponentially since the early days. Today, First National Bank of Huntsville is still located on Eleventh Street but now in a six-story building that was built in 1977. Prior to that, the bank was in its second home, also on Eleventh Street, now the home of the Huntsville Police Department. FNBH was proud to have the first underground drive thru system and also introduced Huntsville to the first Automated Teller Machine (ATM) in 1981.First National Bank of Huntsville hit a major milestone in 2015; we are 125 years strong! We look forward with great anticipation for what the next 125 years will bring. We are so very proud to be a part of Huntsville's rich history and are equally proud to be Huntsville's only locally owned community bank.
