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.
