Visionary men, from families who would earn state and national recognition, including Hiram Eastland, Sr, and Major R. W. Millsaps, were the original founders of Bank of Forest. The bank was granted a corporate charter by the State of Mississippi on March 1, 1900 and opened its doors for business in February of 1901, following an initial stock offering of $16,000.

A successful first year signaled a bright future for the new bank. Proudly announcing deposits exceeding $42,000 and a new profit approaching $500, the bank promptly purchased two brass spittoons and two feather dusters in celebration!

Over the years, subsequent stock offerings were made to increase capital as Bank of Forest continued to grow. By investing in the lives of Scott Countians and following a course of stability, the bank’s reputation of strength and integrity was established early in its history.
