Description

HISTORICAL MUSEUM QUALITY ANTIQUE CIVIL WAR ERA CIRCA 1865 NATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK ALBANY NY BRONZE ADVERTISING INKWELL
KeyCorp's history dates back to 1825 when New York Governor Dewitt Clinton signed a bill chartering the Commercial Bank of Albany, KeyCorp's direct ancestor.
In 1865, Commercial Bank was reorganized under the National Banking Act of 1864, and its name was changed to National Commercial Bank of Albany
.
Also during this time, another bank that would eventually become part of KeyCorp opened--the Trust and Deposit Company of Onondaga in Syracuse, established in 1869.
In 1919, the Trust and Deposit Company of Onondaga merged with First National Bank of Syracuse to become First Trust and Deposit.
Around the same time, the National Commercial Bank of Albany went through another reorganization, consolidating with Union Trust Company to become National Commercial Bank and Trust Company.
These two new banking concerns operated independently until 1971 when First Trust and Deposit was merged into National Commercial Bank and Trust Co.
(now incorporated as First Commercial Banks Inc.)
With that transaction, First Commercial had 89 offices in New York State.
The name was changed to Key Bank Inc.
in 1979, and the institution adopted its present name six years later.
