What today is Legends Bank was established in 1913 in the community of Rich Fountain, Missouri, as the Rich Fountain Bank. It was one of the few banks in Osage County to survive the Great Depression. In fact, its move to Linn in 1936 was the result of the failure of all of the banks which had been operating in Linn, and the Missouri bank commissioner’s subsequent request to the Board of the Rich Fountain Bank to move the bank so that the county seat of Osage County would have a financial institution. Operations being a little simpler then than they are now, it is said that the move was accomplished by loading everything that was needed in the trunk of a car, with the bank reopening the next business day in its new town and under a new name.

For over 110 years, Legends Bank continues to look for better ways to serve its expanding list of customers. It has seen substantial physical growth in the last 50 years, opening new full-service facilities in Westphalia in 1973, Belle in 1992, Rolla in 2011, and a drive through branch in East Linn in 1983. Branches in Loose Creek and Taos were added by virtue of the bank’s merger in 1997 with the former Heritage Bank.  Expansion continued into Owensville and Union with the 2003 merger with the former Charter 1 Bank. In 2016, the assets of Home Savings Bank in Jefferson City were purchased. Most Recently, a second branch was opened in Rolla in 2023 bringing the total number of facilities operated by the bank to 11 to better serve you.
