On March 16, 1906, the Bank of Leasburg was established with a capital stock of $10,000 subscribed by L.A. Evans, Elliott Davis, Leo A. Fisher, John R. King, J.W. Waller, James N. Smith, Daniel Foster, Thomas Hogg, Justin Perrigue, A.J. Barnett, Wm. Fitzgerald, C.M. Fitzgerald, Edward L. Perrigue, Mark H. Kelly, James A. McInnis, J.C. West and E.L. West.  The first board of directors consisted of J.W. Waller, E.L. West, Leo A. Fisher, J.C. West, and James N. Smith.  The bank’s motto was:  “Safety, Service and Security”.   The first cashier of the Bank of Leasburg was James N. Smith; Luther A. Evans became cashier in October 1906 and served for several years. 

For a few years after the financial crisis of 1929, the Crawford County seat of Steelville, Missouri did not have a bank of its own.  The citizens of the town soon realized that for a community to grow and prosper, it needed a bank of its own.  On October 2, 1934, the Bank was moved to Steelville, Missouri, and the name changed to Community Bank.  C.M. Fitzgerald became the President of the new Community Bank.  Following Mr. Fitzgerald was W.A. McInnis who served as President from the mid 1940s to 1956.  

In 1960, the Community Bank built a new banking facility on Main Street in Steelville under the leadership of E.W. Gravatt, who was Director and President from 1956 to 1961.  In 1961, the role of President was turned over to L.J. “Tick” Perkins.  Mr. Perkins remained the CEO & President until 1976 when the family operation was turned over to his son, Paul E. Perkins.  In 1979, the Community Bank moved down the street to its current location at 402 W. Main Street in Steelville. 

On February 1, 1983, the bank’s name changed to First Community National Bank of Crawford County as a result of the plans to open a second location in Cuba, Missouri.  At that time, the bank also changed from a state chartered bank to a national chartered bank.  In  1984, the Cuba Financial Center was opened and then remodeled and expanded in 2005.

With further expansion, the bank’s name changed to First Community National Bank when they acquired the Boatmen’s Community Federal in Sullivan and opened the Sullivan Financial Center in 1991.  In 1997, the Vienna Financial Center was opened followed by the Rolla North Financial Center, located at 2323 N. Bishop Ave., in 2002.  In 2005, First Community National Bank opened its sixth location in Eureka, Missouri.  FCNB's seventh location, a second branch in Rolla located at 212 S. Bishop Ave., opened on January 5th, 2007.  Today, First Community National Bank remains a strong presence in the Steelville, Cuba, Sullivan, Vienna, Rolla and Eureka communities.  Under the current leadership of President Scott Perkins, First Community National Bank continues to thrive as a strong and progressive independent, community bank.
