First Texas Bank in
Belton traces its history back to September, 1868, with the formation
of Miller, Chamberlain & Company, a partnership engaged in the general
mercantile trade. Miller, Chamberlain began extending credit on goods
purchased and because they owned the only safe in town, soon began receiving
"deposits". By supplying customers with used cloth lead-shot bags within
which to place their gold coins and tagging them with the customer's name,
they began what would eventually evolve into checking and savings accounts.
The present day First
Texas Bank was originally chartered on October 22, 1933 as Farmers National
Bank for the purpose of purchasing select assets of Belton National Bank
which failed during the Great Depression. On June 27, 1944 the name was
changed to The First National Bank in Belton, Texas and it remained so
named for the ensuing 48 years until December 31, 1992 when the bank was
chartered as First Texas Bank - Belton a state bank by the Texas Department
of Banking.
The bank was acquired
in 1977 by its current owner First Texas Bancorp, Inc., headquartered
in Georgetown, Texas and was moved to its present location in May, 1980.
The total assets of the bank have grown from $10,629,672 in 1978 to over
$45,000,000.
