Other Details:
In 1857, the first bank in Callaway County was established as the Western Bank of Missouri. Banking transactions often were conducted in gold. As the Civil War raged in October 1861, directors feared the bank s $50,000 in gold was at jeopardy from army raids. They agreed to hide the gold in a well on the west side of the Courthouse Square until peace was restored. The money remained there until 1865 when the well was pumped dry and all but one small coin was recovered. During this period, the bank was reorganized as the Callaway County Savings Bank, which was succeeded by The Callaway Bank in 1900. The Calloway Bank is an independent community bank offering savings, checking and lending services. The bank has locations in Fulton, Mokane and Columbia in Missouri and more than five automated teller machine locations.
