On May 7, 1906, H.C. Haugan, John W. Blee, and Charles L. Connolly were granted permission to organize a bank under the laws of the State of Illinois. This bank became known as the State Bank of Cherry. At that time there were nineteen original shareholders. These shareholders started the bank with a combined total of $25,000.00.
In 1973 a new building was constructed to the south of the bank. This was to be the new home of the State Bank of Cherry. In 1979 the old bank building was demolished and an addition was added to the building constructed in 1973. This structure is now the location of the bank at 110 South Main Street.
May of 2006 completed 100 years of faithful banking service. The people of Cherry and of the Illinois Valley have shown patronage, friendship and loyalty to the State Bank of Cherry.
