IT HAPPENED IN SPRINGFIELD HISTORY

Spr State Bank

Springfield State Bank was organized in December 1945 by several Springfield businessmen. After receiving approval by the FDIC and State Banking Department on February 12, 1946, the bank opened February 23, 1946 in the building originally built for the American State Bank on the southeast corner of 2^nd & Main Street.

In 1975 a new bank building was constructed at 6^th & Main Street. The bank moved to its new location on August 2, 1975. The old bank building was sold to Keith Hentzen for a new drug store.
