History:
Ruby Valley National Bank is located in Madison County in southwestern Montana. Madison County takes its name from the Madison River, named by Lewis and Clark in honor of James Madison, who was Secretary of State at the time of their exploration into what is now Montana in 1805. The county is one of the oldest in the state and the area around Twin Bridges and Sheridan is rich in historical lore. Sheridan is not far from the famed Alder Gulch, scene of one of the most important placer developments in the state. The Ruby Valley lies between the Ruby Range on the south and the Tobacco Root Mountains on the north. This high country provides excellent summer ranges for livestock, plus some excellent scenery for the tourists who are attracted by the many points of historical interest and sporting activities to be found in Madison County.
The First National Bank of Twin Bridges was established April 13, 1917 with William A Clark of Virginia City as President. The original board of directors included R.W. Rossiter of Sheridan, Frank Reid, Lynn Comfort, A.R. Smith, J.F. Jenkins and Jesse A. Frazer of Twin Bridges and A.T. Hibbard of Helena.
The Sheridan State Bank was formed on January 6, 1903 with Winthrup Raymond serving as President. The Sheridan State Bank became The Bank of Sheridan on December 27, 1930 with R.W. Rossiter as President. Rossiter, C.C. Hill, W.H. Foster and G.N. Latus formed the original board of directors.
In 1990, TwinCo, Inc., the holding company for the First National Bank of Twin Bridges, purchased the Bank of Sheridan. The two banks merged in 1991 and were renamed Ruby Valley National Bank. Ruby Valley National Bank continues to serve the residents of Madison County with a primary focus on agricultural production. |
