Step back in time with this nostalgic tribute to Barnett Bank, the Jacksonville-based financial institution that proudly served as "Florida's Bank" for over a century. Founded in 1877, Barnett Bank grew from a small Florida operation into the state's largest homegrown banking empire, becoming synonymous with Florida's explosive growth and development throughout the 20th century.
The bank's initial success stemmed from its deep understanding of Florida's unique market, financing everything from citrus groves to beach resorts while maintaining strong community ties. Barnett Bank's "Florida's Bank" branding perfectly captured their commitment to the Sunshine State, and their extensive branch network made them a fixture in communities from the Panhandle to the Keys.
However, the banking industry's wave of consolidation in the 1990s ultimately led to Barnett Bank's acquisition by NationsBank in 1997, ending over 120 years of independent Florida banking. The merger marked the loss of one of the state's most beloved homegrown institutions, leaving many Floridians mourning the end of an era.
