In 1902, The U.S. National Bank of Portland merged with the Ainsworth National bank but kept the U.S. National Bank name. Several smaller mergers followed, and in the 1990s, more banks merged. In the late 1990s, U.S. National formed a bank holding company known as U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of U.S. Bank, which is often written as US Bank. Mergers continued, and in 2001, U.S. Bancorp established its headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where it is today.
