First Bank & Trust

First Bank & Trust, originally established as The Farmers National Bank of White Deer in 1934, underwent significant changes throughout its history, notably in 1962 when it adopted its current name and transitioned to a state-chartered bank. Over the decades, the institution expanded through multiple acquisitions, including Jefferson Bank in Dallas, Texas, in 2011, and Texas Savings Bank in Snyder, Texas, in 2014. It further enhanced its offerings by acquiring the First National Bank of Colorado City in 2015 and AIMBank in Littlefield, Texas, in 2020. In 2018, First Bank & Trust achieved the status of a full-service trust institution. The bank's main office moved several times, with a notable relocation to 9816 Slide Road in Lubbock, Texas, in 2009. Ultimately, on May 19, 2023, First Bank & Trust merged with Htlf Bank, based in Denver, Colorado, marking a significant chapter in its operational history.
