Marker Text:
The oldest banking institution in Sulphur Springs, City National Bank was organized in 1889. The first board of directors included J.J. Dabbs, John T. Hargrove, J.F. Carter, J.A.B. Putnam, W.B. Womack, W.A. Dabbs, and S.W. Summers. A two-story brick building was erected at this site on the town square. W.W. Jones, Sr., was a dominant figure in the bank. With his strong leadership, the bank thrived and survived the Great Depression intact. The original bank building was razed in 1968 and a new structure was built in its place. (1989)
