Unity Bank–Neillsville Celebrates Its Roots Tracing Back 145 Years
Unity Bank, a local community bank with 15 locations across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Montana is excited to celebrate that the roots of its Neillsville, Wisconsin branch trace back 145 years this August.
The origins of their Neillsville branch trace back to 1879 when Daniel Gates and J. L. Gates established a private bank called the Neillsville Bank. The establishment of the Neillsville Bank predated the incorporation of the city of Neillsville which occurred in April of 1882. The Neillsville Bank, and its predecessors, built Neillsville supporting the many industries such as logging and agriculture which remain as vital industries in the area today.
To commemorate the past 145 years of banking in Neillsville, Unity Bank will be hosting a celebration lunch August 22nd at its Unity Bank Neillsville branch. Join them for a fun community connection, enjoy lunch, and get to know the friendly team.
Michelle Friemoth, Manager of the Neillsville Branch, stated, “We’re thrilled to be able to celebrate our banking roots with our community. Tracing our bank’s history back to 1879 has been fascinating. As we learned more about the journey of the Neillsville Bank, which has eventually led us here to Unity Bank, one thing that has remained certain is the significance of community banks in our hometowns. We are proud to be a pillar of our community for the last 145 years.”
Unity Bank welcomes all to join in celebrating this milestone of banking in Neillsville. Unity Bank is proud to have roots deep in our community and continue providing valuable support. Unity Bank is pleased to celebrate 145 years of trust, community, loyalty, strength, and growth in Neillsville, Wisconsin.
