Charles Crocker, one of The Big Four of the Central Pacific Railroad and who constructed America's First Transcontinental Railroad, acquired controlling interest in Woolworth for his son William Crocker. The bank was renamed Crocker Woolworth National Bank, and later Crocker National Bank.

Crocker National Bank was headquartered at San Francisco, California.

Scott Adams worked at Crocker in his first years in the business world. It is said to have inspired the evil Bank of Ethel in Adams' Dilbert comic strip.
