Mountain National Bank history

In 1903, just down the road from Terra Alta in Bruceton Mills, WV, a group of community leaders applied to the Department of Banking of West Virginia for a charter to be issued in the name of The Bruceton Bank.

Originally chartered in 1910 as Erwin National Bank, “ENB” opened its doors in the small mountain town of Erwin, TN, near the Tennessee – North Carolina border.

In 1921 four men got a ride in to Bruceton Mills with a local farmer on a wagon coming from Morgantown.

In 1987, the stockholders of The Terra Alta Bank elected to become part of State Bancorp, Inc., a locally owned and managed company in Bruceton Mills, which also owned Bruceton Bank.

Eighteen years later, in 2005, The Terra Alta Bank and Bruceton Bank officially combined, keeping the same ownership and management, but changing the name of both banks to Clear Mountain Bank.

Realizing this expanded market potential, Mountain Commerce Bancorp, a Federal Reserve Bank holding company, acquired ENB on September 1, 2006, recapitalizing it and changing the name to Mountain Commerce Bank.

Turtle Mountain State Bank opened its doors on December 3, 2007 as the first privately owned Native American bank on a federally recognized Indian Reservation.

In April of 2012, the bank moved into a beautiful new building located in the center of downtown Belcourt.
