Country Bank Celebrates 175 Years of Excellence and Community Commitment

February 28, 2025 – Country Bank proudly marks a historic milestone, 175 years of dedicated service to its communities. Since its founding in 1850, the Bank has grown from a small local institution into a trusted regional financial leader. This remarkable journey has been shaped by the unwavering support of its customers, team members, and communities, reinforcing Country Bank’s commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those it serves.

“Perhaps ‘thank you’ is the most fitting sentiment we can express,” said Mary McGovern, President and CEO of Country Bank. “Each year has contributed to shaping who we are today, and as I reflect on our legacy, I feel immense pride. For 175 years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to trust, service, and innovation supporting individuals, businesses, and helping to build stronger communities. This achievement is truly a shared success, and we are deeply grateful to all who have placed their trust in us and have been a part of our journey.”
 

To commemorate this milestone, Country Bank is launching a special anniversary celebration to give back to the communities that have contributed to its success. The “Thank You” campaign will include 175 gifts to community members and initiatives designed to champion local businesses, and non-profits throughout the region.

The campaign will also highlight inspiring customer stories, showcase the Bank’s community contributions, and reaffirm its commitment to excellence. Country Bank invites everyone to join the celebration, share their experiences, and participate in unique giveaways and community events throughout the year, ensuring that this milestone is shared with those who have made it possible.

“As the first female President and CEO of Country Bank, I am honored to lead this celebration of our rich history and enduring commitment to our communities,” added McGovern. “Our legacy of service and innovation has defined us for nearly two centuries, and that same commitment will continue to guide us as we evolve, expand, and enhance the customer experience.”
