22 NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2017 To mark its centennial anniversary, the bank hosted an outdoor celebration in June with games, prizes, refreshments, gift cards and a “dunk your banker” activity. Earlier in the year, the bank also gave away keepsake anniversary calendars featuring historic photos of the people, places and buildings of Boonville. Centennial Celebration Indiana banks founded in 1917 FEATURE This year, two Indiana banks are celebrating 100-year anniversaries. In total, more than 90 banks in Indiana have been in operation for 100 years or longer. The Indiana Bankers Association appreciates the dedication of the “centennial banks” that have helped build the strength of the Indiana banking community. The current Boonville Federal Savings Bank building, the bank’s sole office, was constructed in 1986. Boonville Federal Savings Bank Established almost 100 years to the day after the founding of its namesake town, Boonville Federal Savings Bank has for the last century been providing banking services to the citizens of Warrick County and the surrounding area. Operating from a single location at 123 N. Third St., the bank’s website states: “Since Boonville Federal is your hometown independent bank, ‘all decisions will be made within the four walls of the bank.’” Boonville Federal Savings Bank can trace its inception back to 1917, when it operated from this cherry roll top desk. Originally the bank was known as the Boonville Building and Loan Association. CentreBank, Veedersburg Originally called The Veedersburg State Bank when it opened for business on Oct. 13, 1917, CentreBank went through a name change in 1990 when the bank expended operations beyond Veedersburg into Covington. The bank has since expanded further into Kingman and Hillsboro. All of its branches, plus a drive-up location in Sterling, are located in Fountain County.
