Beginning in 1911 the main street branch of Clarkston State Bank (the “Bank”) was opened to provide banking services to the downtown area as well as surrounding farms. The Bank provided a much needed local presence for banking services. Over the years the ownership has changed several times and in 1997 National Bank of Detroit closed the branch and discontinued what had been a fixture in the community for 86 years. However, several local entrepreneurs resurrected the Bank and began operating in the classic building in January 1999. There has been a long standing history of local banking and community involvement over the years. Keeping with that tradition you will see the Bank’s officers at many local events and involvement with many local organizations. Listed below are several of the organizations our officers are actively involved with:

• Clarkston Area Lions
