Historical Note

The Exchange State Bank got its start in 1884 thanks to Henry P. and Edwin B. Magill. The bank was located at the corner of Rose and St. Cloud streets, and was incorporated in 1889 with assets totaling $25,000. J.E. Wheeler served as the bank's first president until 1912. Valley Bancorporation bought the Exchange State Bank in 1991.
