November 12, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Old National Bancorp (NYSE: ONB) celebrated its 175th anniversary Wednesday, November 11, 2009. From its modest beginning with two associates, in a one-room bank on Evansville’s riverfront (in the same location where the headquarters now stands), Old National has grown into a thriving financial institution with more than 170 banking centers and 3,000 associates serving a three-state footprint.

Tomorrow at 3 p.m., 4 p.m., Old National Bancorp president and CEO Bob Jones, Old National Bancorp chairman Larry Dunigan, and the remaining nine board directors will ring the New York Stock Exchange’s closing bell.

In addition, both the Indiana House and Senate introduced resolutions acknowledging Old National’s historic anniversary and long-standing commitment to Indiana families, businesses and communities, while mayors in several Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois cities and counties (including Evansville and Indianapolis) introduced proclamations officially recognizing the week or day of Old National’s anniversary.
