A division of Oak Valley, Eastern Sierra Community Bank, adds branches in Bishop, Bridgeport, and Mammoth Lakes.
Oak Valley Community Bank was founded in 1990 by a group of businessmen with a vision to make local banking available to its community.
After three years of steady growth with three branches, year 2000 started a new era of expansion - when Eastern Sierra Community Bank was established, with its first branch in Bridgeport - a market that proved ready to embrace the spirit of community banking. By the end of 2000, the Bank's total assets were $134 million.
Mammoth Lakes and Bishop soon followed, opening in 2001 and 2002, respectively.
