History
Umpqua Holdings Corporation was founded in 1953 by local business owners and civic leaders in Roseburg, Oregon, as Umpqua Bank. Throughout the late 20th century, the company expanded its branch network throughout Oregon and Washington, eventually becoming a publicly traded company in 1996. Umpqua continued to grow and diversify, acquiring Men’s Wearhouse in 2003 and adding wealth management, investments and insurance services to its product portfolio. In 2017, it acquired the Oregon-based Pacific Continental Corporation, a move that ensured its position as one of the largest banks in the region.
