This bank built a large business and a bank building in 1890. Even after a fire destroyed the building in 1900, the stockholders had the determination to re-build a building immediately. In 1920, the bank was chartered the First State Bank of Walnut. B. F. Oakford organized the Citizens State Bank of Walnut. A merger of these two banks occurred in 1959 and the merged banks became Citizens First St
ate Bank of Walnut. In 2022 Citizens First State Bank merged with Community State Bank of Galva. In 1979, the current building which houses our main bank, was built. In 1980, the employees moved into the current building. The Bank has made many changes over the years, but one thing remains the same. Our customers are our greatest asset!
