Firstar expanded through as a series of mergers and buyouts including Banks of Iowa, Federated Bank, First Colonial Bankshares Corporation, and Investors Bank. In 1999, Firstar merged with Star Bank (formerly First National Cincinnati) of Cincinnati, Ohio), and then bought Mercantile Bancorporation of St. Louis, Missouri five months later.
