    The Crocker-Anglo Bank grew out of the Anglo California Bank founded in 1873.
    Charles Crocker, one of The Big Four of the Central Pacific Railroad, and who constructed America's First Transcontinental Railroad
    , at one time held a controlling interest in the bank that bears his name. I
    n 1963, the Crocker-Anglo Bank ceased to exist when it merged with Los Angeles' Citizens National Bank, to become Crocker-Citizens Bank and later, Crocker Bank.
    The bank's headquarters in the San Francisco Financial District served as the location for the 1962 cinema noir film "Experiment in Terror."
