    What was the original name of the Bank of America?

    Question #60420. Asked by Dead Man Inc. (Nov 07 05 9:58 PM)

    		A Bank of America has existed since at least 1929... NationsBank of North Carolina merged with Bank of America in 1998 and assumed the name. Perhaps this is what you're looking for.

    		The Bank of Italy. I remember gmack's version of this question, but I can't seem to find the actual question number...

    "The Bank of America, the largest bank in the country, was established in 1904 by Amadeo Pietro ("A.P.") Giannini (1870-1949) in San Francisco. In 1919, he innovated the system of branch banking. Originally called the Bank of Italy, it changed names in 1928 and, in 1998 merged with NationsBank Corp."

    Why is the Swiss Bank so special, I mean why is the Swiss Bank regarded as the best bank compared to any other bank? Any reasons?

    When people want to insert a state map into text about America in the 1700s, they simply cut out the 13 original states from a contemporary map and use those sizes and shapes. The problem is that the contemporary states don't reflect the states of 1700 America (ie: West Virginia was part of Virginia, the northern border of Pennsylvania and New York was much further north than it is today, etc.) Where can I find maps that show the evolution of the borders of the 13 original colonies during the 1600s and 1700s and how they gradually transformed into their current shapes?
