Our History
Banking in Cascade, Montana began in the early 1900s when James E. Marcum, who owned and operated the Marcum Mercantile felt there was a need for a bank in the community and started a banking operation within his mercantile business. In 1910, he moved his banking interest to a separate building and in 1917, along with other local businessmen, organized the Marcum State Bank. On July 26th, 1920 the Articles of Incorporation were amended to change the name to Stockmens Bank.
In April of 1909 a second bank opened its doors to the community, the First State Bank of Cascade and the two banks co-existed in the small town of Cascade until the federal bank moratorium of 1933. The two banks agreed to merge into one new bank, contingent on retaining the name Stockmens Bank The merger was finalized on December 19th, 1933 and the new Stockmens Bank was open for business.
The Moore family manages Stockmens Bank today and has been involved in the banking industry since the 1900’s. M. M. Moore began his banking career in Lakefield, Minnesota in 1900, spent 8 years as a banker in Whitebird Idaho, and in 1914 came to Cascade, Montana where he was hired as Cashier for the First State Bank. In the 1933 merger between the First State Bank and Stockmens Bank, M.M. Moore was named President of the new Stockmens Bank.
