Adrian State Bank was born out of Bishop Ireland's Colony in Adrian in the middle 1870's, when almost overnight, a cold and lonely prairie "boomed" with Irish and German immigrants from the eastern part of the United States. In 1889, an application was made to organize a State Bank. The report of condition of the bank in 1889 reflects assets totaling $42,289.21. The first meeting of the shareholders was October 7, 1889 with by-laws presented and accepted. At that time, all stockholders then signed an organization certificate. The state charter was issued by Superintendent of Banks, M.D. Kenyon, dated October 23, 1889. Email id based on pattern
