tropolis," the population of which at
that time was said to be l3,247.
The oank was first known as the
Bank of the Metropolis and its first
banking house was located at the
northeast corner of F and Fifteenth
streets. In July, 1886, new banking
house was built on its present loca-
ton, which eventually gave way in
1907 to the present banking and
Office building.
The act of Congress to incorporate
national banking associations was
passed on June 3, 1864, and on
March "a, 1865, the bank was reor-
ganized under the name of the Ma
tional Metropolitan Bank of Wash
ington and enjoys the distinction OF
now being the Oldest national bank
in the District of Columbia. On
October 10, 1904, the bank took over
the property and assets of the Citi-
zens' National Bank and changed
its name to the National Metro
politan- Citizens Bank of Washing
ton and on January 10. 1906, the
name was changed to the present
title of the National Metropolitan
Bank of Washington.
From its foundation the bank has
enjoyed the counsel and assistance
of able directors. chosen from
the foremost business and profess
sional men of the community. COL
James Munroe was made director
in 1915, while filling the Office of
Secretary of State. and at a later
time are found the names of Josiah
Meigs, Commissioner of the Land
Office and the first president of
the University of Georgia; Col.

Looking backward for 126 years,
the history of the bank shows that
it has survived four wars, eight
serious and far-reaching panics
and that of all the banks which
were incorporated in 1814-1817, it
is one of two which have survived
to the present time.
