First State Bank opened its doors for business on February 25, 1949,
with the formative years spent establishing its customer base and putting
systems in place to allow the bank to meet the needs of its local community.
The
community had been without a financial institution for twenty years.
In 1929, the town of Van Texas became a bustling population
center - a "boomtown,"
when its first discovery well came in. On October 14, 1929, the Jarman
37 No. 1 was completed for an initial production of 147 barrels of
oil an hour.
The principal business of First State Bank is attracting checking
and savings deposits from the general public and originating commercial,
consumer and real estate loans. First State Bank employees are dedicated
to providing quality courteous service to all customers.
First State Bank is located at 660 West Main Street in Van
Texas. We are
a full-service bank with drive-thru areas and one ATM location in
the community it serves. Van is an area proud of its heritage and
First State Bank.
