The plaque says, "The bank of Range, organized in 1886, was the first bank in the city of orange and occupied this site. In 1887 the bank of orange chanded its name to National Bank of Orange. The first National Bank of Orange charted in April 1906, was located at the northeast corner of Glassell and the plaza. In 1911 this bank moved to the southeast corner of chapman and the plaza. In 1927, Fist National Bank and the National Bank of Orange merged, under a federal charter, as First National Bank of Orange. In 1963, First National Bank of Orange, because of its growth plans, changed its name to First National Bank of Orange County."
