Hernando State Bank
Hernando State Bank, also known as Hernando Bank, was a bank business that occupied a historic building in Brooksville, Florida. The building, also known by the name of the bank, was built in 1905. James A. Jennings was the bank's first president.[1] The bank was purchased in 1907 by William McKethan.[2] It is at the intersection of Main Street and Route 41. It closed in 1897.[3]
The bank was capitalized with $15,000 in 1905.[4]
The Brooksville-based Hernando Banking Corp., a holding company that held just one bank, Hernando Bank, was expected to be purchased in 1984 by Sun Bank (which eventually became SunTrust Banks) in a deal giving owners approximately $31.5 million. At the time Hernando Bank had $229.2 million assets. The deal was subject to approval of pooling-of-interests accounting treatment and regulatory approval.[5]
Alfred A. McKethan was a president of the bank.
