On January 20, 1928, a handful of men wishing to provide deposit and loan services to their community founded Webster First Credit Union. Through written agreement, these men associated themselves with the goal of establishing a thrift institution in order to accumulate and invest the savings of its members and provide these members loans. Webster First stayed true to their mission despite the hardships of those early years, emerged intact after the tribulations of the Great Depression, and continued to serve the local community.
