OUR HISTORY
In May of 1954, B.H. Jennings started the First State Bank of Farmington. In a time of economic struggle, Jennings believed that Farmington was in need of a locally-owned bank. He gathered investors and embarked on a journey creating the Farmington landmark we all know today as First State Community Bank. The journey has seen much success over the years and continues to succeed based on its core values: friendly service, quality financial products, outstanding employees and long-term return for our shareholders.
1953
Originally named First State Bank of Farmington, the Finance Commission of Missouri approved the bank charter in November of 1953 with $100,000 of common stock. The bank's first board members were B.H. Jennings, H. Boxdorfer, C.A. Doubet, R.E. Adams, A.J. Butterfield, C.B. Denman and C.E. Rozier. Board meetings were originally held at Ozarks Café in downtown Farmington.

1980
William H. "Bill" Cooper, who had served on the Board of Directors since 1964, purchased control of the bank and became Chairman. The same year, Jack Sebastian was appointed President of the bank.

2004
First State Community Bank celebrated 50 years of service by opening a newly remodeled location in downtown Farmington. The event occurred nearly 50 years to the day after the first Open House on Sunday, May 9, 1954.
