The First 80 Years of First Bank

As we close 2015, we take a look back at the first 80 wonderful years in First Bank’s history, from 1935 when we opened as the Bank of Montgomery in Troy, North Carolina to our expansion across three states.

Along the way, we’ve had the privilege of serving our local communities and neighbors. We certainly couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t wait to see what the future brings!
