The First National Bank of Sonora was organized by E.R. Jackson in 1900, only 10 years after Sonora became a town. The move to organize a bank was deemed foolhardy by some who had already seen two financial institutions fail.
In 1995 the Bank expanded to include a branch in San Angelo, Texas, known as the San Angelo Banking Center, located at 5710 Sherwood Way, and later another branch was opened at 2502 Southland Blvd. In early 2009, we opened a new branch, the Boerne Banking Center, at 122 W. Bandera in Boerne, Texas.
The first report to the Comptroller of the Currency of the condition of the First National Bank was made at the close of business on September 5, 1900, after the institution had been organized less than a month. Resources were shown in total $88,128.87. Total assets as of December 31, 2011 were $313,430,000 with total deposits of $274,506,000 and loans of $192,540,000.
The First National Bank of Sonora / San Angelo Banking Center / Boerne Banking Center, today collectively known as Sonora Bank, continues to be a family owned community bank with many of the descendants of the original Board of Directors serving on the current Board. They are Ronald Cox, Claire Jones, Jo Bess Jackson, Edwin E. Sawyer III, Ben Pool, Israel Pena and Bob Malone.
