History
The First National Bank of Tulia traces its origins to the Tulia National Bank, chartered in 1902 as the young Swisher County seat was growing from a tiny frontier settlement into a Panhandle trade center. The bank reflected Tulia's early-20th-century economic development after the surrounding county was organized in the late 19th century, and the building is recognized as a historic landmark by the Texas Historical Commission.
