The present day U.S. Bancorp developed from a number of mergers, beginning with Firstar Corporation's merger with Star Bank (formerly First National Cincinnati) of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999. Five months later, Firstar acquired Mercantile Bancorporation of St. Louis, Missouri. The final major acquisition was Firstar's buyout of U.S. Bancorp, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That buyout was completed on February 27, 2001. Firstar changed its name to U.S. Bancorp at that time. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into U.S. Bancorp. ...
