| The First National Bank of Hawley was organized in 1905 with H.F. Mensing and Andrew Johnson as the principal stockholders. The bank was
located on the east side of Sixth Street, then relocated to a brick
building now occupied by the Hawley City Hall, and in 1998 moved into
its new facility on Highway 10.
First National Bank was considered a "conservative" lending
institution, which proved favorable during the Depression, and was one
of the few banks in the country that didn't have to close its doors
during the Bank Holiday in 1933, the year the F.D.I.C. was
established. In First National Bank's long history, it has remained an
Independent Community Bank. There have been ten presidents, with Rick
Schultz being promoted to president in 5/2003.
First National Bank provides a number of services in addition to
banking, including a real estate agency, an insurance agency, and
investments. In October of 1994, a branch office was opened in
Dilworth.
