Brimfield residents Charles L. Dungan and Henry A. Blundy along with 13 other shareholders were issued a bank charter for the Exchange State Bank of Brimfield on January 16, 1913. The bank’s name was officially changed to Brimfield Bank on February 15, 1979. With a rich history, the bank has remained locally controlled throughout the years, offering support and assistance for a strong economy and growing community of residents. Today the bank remains dedicated to their founding principles of exceptional service while employing the latest technology and knowledge within the financial industry.

The Dungan-Blundy Families Era (1913-1961)

At the time of its original chartering in 1913, there were 500 shares of stock issued and outstanding. The Charles L. Dungan and Henry A. Blundy families owed 385 of these shares. Members of these families and their interests controlled and managed the Bank from 1913 until their interests were sold to Leland Norris of Kansas City, Missouri, in early 1961.

The Leland Norris Year (1961 – 1962)

Leland Norris, a young attorney from Kansas City, Missouri, purchased the controlling shares of the Bank from the Dungan and Blundy families in 1961. Mr. Norris, who also owned and controlled a Bank located in Strong City, Kansas, operated and managed the Bank until November 30, 1962, on which date he sold the controlling shares of the Bank to Arber Johnson and Frederick D. Johnson and their interests.

The Johnson Family Era (1962 – The Present)

Since December 1, 1962, the controlling shares of the Bank have been owned by the Johnson family and their interests. Throughout its existence, the Bank has always been operated with the utmost integrity and dedication, ensuring the safety and soundness of the institution. During every era of its existence, the Bank’s management has well served the Bank’s customers, the Brimfield community and the Bank’s shareholders – in that order.
