HomePride Bank's Journey Through Time
Since 1892, HomePride Bank has been an integral part of our community's financial landscape. Originally established as The Bank of Mansfield, our history spans over a century of dedicated service, growth, and unwavering commitment to the people we serve.
Our Humble Beginnings
In 1892, a group of visionary local businessmen, including G.W. Freeman, laid the foundation for what would become HomePride Bank. Their mission was clear: to create a robust banking institution that would foster community prosperity.
Weathering the Storms
Our commitment to the community was put to the test during the Great Depression. In 1933, G.W. Freeman, our bank's first president, demonstrated extraordinary dedication by pledging a significant portion of his personal assets to ensure the bank's continued operation. This act of faith in our community's future exemplifies the spirit that has driven HomePride Bank for generations.
Growing with Our Community
As the oldest business in Mansfield, Missouri, we've had the privilege of growing alongside our community. Over the years, we've expanded our reach, establishing additional branches in Fordland, Norwood, Seymour, and Ava. This growth has allowed us to serve a wider area while maintaining our commitment to personalized, community-focused banking.
The HomePride Bank of Today
Today, HomePride Bank stands proudly as the sole independent, locally owned bank operating in Wright County. While our name may have changed from The Bank of Mansfield, our core values and commitment to our customers and communities remain steadfast.
Looking to the Future
As we continue to write our story, we remain dedicated to our role as local community bankers, hometown supporters, and active partners in our region's progress. Our history and legacy serves as a foundation for our future, inspiring us to continue innovating and serving our community with the same passion and dedication that has defined us for over a century.
