c. 1911 – present

The town's banking record comes in three pieces, and no carrier reached joins them. First, a North Liberty State Bank, in a purpose-built Classical Revival building at 125 North Main Street erected between 1909 and 1912, listed in 1916–17 with $25,000 capital, and closed by the state on 17 January 1927. Second, a sentence in the National Register nomination for the Commercial Historic District (Garner, 2012) recording that the town "also had a second bank operating south of the movie theater in 1929" — unnamed by any carrier reached. Third, the Community State Bank of North Liberty, chartered 1 May 1943, which built at 109 North Main in 1960 and merged into 1st Source Bank on 1 April 1987. The nomination narrates the first and third as one institution — the Community State Bank "formerly known as the State Bank" — and the federal record contradicts the narration. Both print in this section, whole, and the leg does not choose between them.
