The First Horizon story is about enduring relationships with clients, associates and communities. Without them, no company could survive and thrive for nearly 160 years.
Our story began in 1864, when Ohio businessman Frank S. Davis arrived in Memphis to open the city’s first national bank. Davis saw a genuine need for banking and credit to finance rebuilding and new commercial growth. Davis’ foresight led him to found First National Bank of Memphis, which has evolved into the First Horizon Bank we know today.
