History of Umpqua Bank

Today, we can consider Umpqua Bank as a consolidated entity that has been in the market for more than 65 years. The history of this financial institution began in 1953, under the name of South Umpqua State Bank, due to the fact that the city of Canyonville is located near a river that bears this name.
