The Ostrander branch of Security State Bank opened
its doors on May 15, 1903. From 1903 until 1910, the Bank was
located on the east side of Main Street in downtown Ostrander. A new
building was constructed on the west side of Main Street and the
Bank relocated to this site in 1910. In 1954, the current Bank
building was constructed. Additional offices were added to this
building in 1977-1978.
The organizers and original stock holders of the Bank were O.P.
Hadland, H.O. Larson, and H.A. Skaarberg, all from Ostrander; C.M.
Anderson from Preston, MN; and Theodore Wold of Winona, MN. These
men also served as the Bank's first Board of Directors.
