Community State traces its roots to the Farmers & Miners Bank, founded in 1883 in Lucas. A group of investors purchased Farmers & Miners Bank in 1993 and moved the main office to its present location at Orchard Plaza on the north side of Indianola.
The bank, which was renamed at that time, continues to maintain a branch office in Lucas. The vision of the bank’s investors was to provide the depositors with a community-based and locally owned financial institution, and today’s staff shares in that vision.
