The Community Bank - (740) 454-1600

Our commitment to community has been at the heart of everything we do since 1902. We’re excited to connect with you. Enjoy your time on our Page!

Back in the late 1890's, Crooksville, Ohio was a bustling town of merchants, manufacturers and individuals. However the town had no bank. Anyone who had banking business had to travel to banks in neighboring towns. This was inconvenient and risky. Thus, it prompted a group of local businessmen to initiate the establishment of The Crooksville Bank.

The Crooksville Bank opened its doors in December of 1902 and expanded into the South Zanesville market in 1988 with an office on Maysville Pike. In 1992, the bank changed its name to The Community Bank to better reflect its passion for serving the local community and its vision for growth.

Out of reverence for its place in banking history, the interior of the Crooksville banking office was remodeled to reflect its original interior. It still serves family generations that span over 100 years.

What We Stand For

As we look to the future, our priority reaches beyond the numbers, beyond the success of the bank itself. We believe that "as goes the community, so goes The Community Bank." We have visions of growth, one neighbor at a time, for the economic and cultural benefit of our community as a whole. We will stand up against the big, "corporate" banks that are based out-of-town but pretend to be "local." Yet we'll offer any of the same or better services, plus another special benefit: We care.

Moving forward, nothing will ever define our culture more completely than our theme, "Tried and True." Because even though we will serve an ever-changing evolution of generations with new products and resources, we'll never lose our connection with history. We'll always be influenced by the ideals set back in 1902.
