In 1859, William Pettis and Nathaniel Ingalls built a private bank on Sampson Street in Tremont. It was in operation about ten years when it was closed. Tremont was without banking facilities for about ten more years. In 1879, A.G. Davis and L.M. Hobart opened a private bank in the old Pettis and Ingalls bank building. In 1883, Mr. Hobart retired from banking and A.G. Davis assumed the banking business which was then known as "The Davis Bank Company." In 1906, it received a state charter and was known as "The Tremont Bank." In 1909, it converted to a national bank and was known as "The Tremont National Bank." In 1931, it merged with Tremont's other bank, "The First National Bank of Tremont," which had organized in 1902. The newly chartered bank was then known as "The First National Bank in Tremont."
