Bank History Mapleton Trust and Savings Bank was organized by Baxter Whiting and Charles I. Whiting on October 3, 1878 with paid in capital of $10,000. On January 1, 1995, Farmers Savings Bank of Danbury, also owned by the Whiting family, was merged with Mapleton Trust & Savings Bank and the name was changed to Valley Bank & Trust. On February 23, 2006 L.A. Amundson Investments Inc. purchased Valley Bank & Trust from the fourth generation descendants of the original founders of the bank and thereby started a new chapter in the long history of Valley Bank & Trust.  From humble beginnings, Valley Bank & Trust has grown to a full service bank including a Trust Department with over $25,000,000 under management. Federal Crop Insurance and crop hail coverage are provided by Valley Insurance Agency. Farm management services are available as well as real estate through Valley Realty. Valley Bank & Trust is truly "one stop shopping" for all of your banking, real estate and crop insurance needs.
