In 1898 the first bank in Union Grove was established in a small brick building located on the southwest corner of the lot where the Chartier Hotel now stands. The bank was incorporated in September 1903. When the state charter was granted, the bank was located in a two-story frame building at 1023 Main Street. In May of 1923, the bank moved to an impressive stone building across Main Street. A new location was needed by 1969 and the building at the corner of 12th and Main was constructed. In 1979 that building doubled in size as a new addition was added. As our customer base and number of employees grew, so did our need for a larger facility. In 1996, a new two-story office was built on the corner of Hwy. 11 and 45. 

Twenty years ago, Community State Bank was approximately a $20 million bank and since that time has grown into a $255 million corporation with nine offices primarily serving the communities of western Racine & Kenosha counties. We have locations in Union Grove, Kansasville, Rochester, Sturtevant, Mount Pleasant, Waterford, Burlington and Paddock Lake (Kenosha County). 

Our "community-first" approach toward banking is what gave Community State Bank the strength and stamina to survive in an age where the banking industry continues to consolidate. Resources are invested back into the markets that we serve, and all credit decisions are made locally. This simple mission has allowed Community State Bank to experience many years of consistent, positive growth.
