Our History

A History of Farmers State Bank

On April 7, 1908, Farmers State Bank, Quinton, Oklahoma was approved and chartered by the State of Oklahoma and business began in a frame building on what is now the street west of the southeast corner of Broadway and Main streets. It then moved into the building on the same corner, which also housed the old Choctaw Gas Company. In the 1930's, the assets of the First National Bank of Quinton were bought by Farmers State Bank, and as a result of this, the two banks were combined. Farmers State Bank then moved across the intersection into the building it occupied until March, 1980, when construction was completed on the facility that stands now. An expansion was completed in 1995, making room for a growing business.

 

A History of the Red Oak Branch
The Bank of Red Oak was organized before statehood, in November, 1905, and was given an Indian Nation Charter. The Bank was owned by the Brewer and Fields families of Red Oak until 1960 when 50% of the bank's stock was purchased by the Dollies of Wilburton and the Kirks of McAlester. In 1976, Don Barrington and Olen Treadway purchased the bank. On December 16, 1983, Bill Jordan and the Farmers State Bank purchased certain assets and deposits of the Bank of Red Oak from the F.D.I.C., and operates it as the "Red Oak Branch of Farmers State Bank". Operations were located in the original building, built in 1905, until the new building was completed on Highway 82 in December of 1985.

 

A History of the Haskell County Branch
Originally, our Haskell County Branch was opened in Whitefield in May of 1996. In order to provide a more convenient, centrally located facility, this branch was relocated to the "red barn" just east of Stigler in July of 2000.
