NOTE: The above is only partially correct. I checked my check
(Southern California) and the number is 122000247.
In the early 1990's Wells Fargo originally had a single routing
number (121000248) for all transactions: paper, EFT, wire. When
they purchased Great American Bank they acquired that banks routing
number, 122000247, and applied it to all Southern California
accounts, while using the original number for N Cal, and wire
transactions to all accounts. As Wells Fargo merged with other
banks and grew out of California, more and more routing numbers
were acquired, with some discarded, and others kept.
121000248 is still used for paper transactions in N. CA, and all
bank wires. 122000247 is still used for S. CA accounts. 121042882
appears to be the routing number of choice for most (but not all)
EFT transactions.
