What was bank of america orginal name?

Question

i know it was bank of something

Answer 1

American National Bank of Los Angeles (ANB)

(if youre referring to bank of italy, technically it isnt, the founders only formed the present day BoA through a series of mergers and acquisitions-its interesting you would ask this after I read about BOA's history earlier today)

From wiki:

In 1906, the elder Monnette struck a significant gold vein in the previously thought tapped out Mohawk Mine, Tonapah, Nevada (near Goldfield, Nevada). The strike, known as the Monnette-Hayes Lease set records for the value of the ore shipped in 1906. Eventually, Mervin Monnette realized a $5,000,000 profit on the Mohawk, which he assigned to his son for investment.

With his father’s mining proceeds, Orra Monnette purchased the controlling interest in the American National Bank of Los Angeles (ANB). In 1909, ANB was merged into Citizens Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles. In 1911, Monnette purchased the Broadway Bank and Trust Company, which when merged with the family’s other holdings formed the Citizens Bank and Trust Company, of which Orra E. Monnette was Chairman of the Board.

Answer 2

Bank of Italy
