First Bank & Trust

Wagoner was still a frontier community when First National Bank - the predecessor of First Bank & Trust Company - opened its doors here in 1895. On August 1, 1895, a charter was issued by the Treasury Department to the First National Bank of Wagoner, Indian Territory, and on October 1, 1895 the bank opened for business. There were 14 depositors at the end of our 1st day's business, with total deposits of $10, 918. 02. All bookkeeping and correspondence was handwritten.
