The Humboldt Bank, organized in 1869, was one of the oldest Savings Banks in California. It was originally located at No.
4 Kearny Street, when, having purchased a site and erected a three-story building, it removed to 16-18 Geary Street. In 1905
the property was sold and the site at 785 Market Street, near Fourth, was purchased. The Beaux Arts building was completed
in 1908 by architect Frederick H. Meyer.
Humboldt Bank merged with Umpqua Bank in 2004 with Umpqua Bank being the surviving bank.
The collection consists of three ledgers. Two signature books (1883-1902) includes names, addresses and account numbers. One
deposit book (1869-1872) includes account holders names, account numbers, deposits and withdrawls, and dividends. The deposit
book dates to the banks inception.
Ledgers are arranged in chronological order.
