About United Valley Bank...

The Beginning...
United Valley Bank was founded in 1905 in Cavalier, North Dakota, 29 years after the town was established.
The original name was Merchants and Farmers Bank of Cavalier.
Pembina County Judge Robert McBride was the organizer and first president of the bank.

Growth!
Through the years the Bank became a national bank, then later purchased by First Bank System and returned to its state charter in 1937.
In 1974 the Bank was renamed First State Bank of Cavalier.
The year 1987 brought the Bank back to local ownership when the local Board of Directors purchased it from First Bank System.
Under the leadership of the current Board of Directors, the Bank maintains strong local decision making for the benefit of the whole community.

Today
In 1998, the Bank opened its Columbia Road branch in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The name was changed to United Valley Bank. A downtown Grand Forks branch was opened in 2003. Under its current ownership the Bank continues to operate close to the people it serves!
