In 1919 a small group of men gathered together with an
ambitious scheme; to start a bank in Wyola, MT that would
provide the farmers and ranchers with a reliable bank to
support their community and take care of their customers.
Soon the word spread that not only would the folks at Little
Horn State Bank listen to their customers' needs, they would
work with them whenever possible. Commitment to the
community was the principle that the Bank was founded on,
and still is the one we stand by today.
The bankers at Little Horn knew that in order to make it in
the rough world of commercial banking, they would have to
sink their roots deep into the community. This strategy
served them well as the Roaring Twenties gave way to the
Thirties and the Great Depression. During that decade many
banks collapsed, unable to hold fast in those tough times,
while Little Horn State Bank held firm and was able to aid
many struggling farmers.
This strategy was to stay the same over the following years,
through the tough economic times that plagued the country
during WWII, and through the fifties, when the baby boomers
were born. Little Horn's clientele grew to include customers
from many counties in Montana as well as from the state of
Wyoming.
In 1966 Little Horn State Bank moved from its home in Wyola
to 317 North Custer, Hardin, the county seat. In 1997,
Little Horn State Bank opened up a branch in Lockwood. In
2002, a third branch was established at 2209 Central Avenue,
Billings Mt. In 2005 we expanded into the Laurel community
at Jan’s IGA.
In May of 2007 construction was completed on a new building
at 835 North Center, Hardin, Mt to enhance the bank’s
presence in its loyal community. The new building was
designed to capture the era of the old west with the well
known wrought iron teller cages, wood banisters and board
walks of yesteryears. Little Horn was founded on the values
instilled by the farmers and ranchers of this community and
prospered by the sweat of their brows. In keeping with the
old west tradition Little Horn not only preserves the old
west, but preserves the integrity of banking. The focus
remains on the community and your needs.
