    BTH Bank is one of the few community banks in East Texas today, and has a history that stretches back more than 100 years. In 1905, W. M. Lloyd established a small, private bank in Quitman, which subsequently received a state charter in 1908, resulting in the First State Bank. A national charter was granted in 1914 and the First National Bank of Quitman took the stage. Almost 100 years later, the Bank had become Bank Texas and,

    In 2006, seven members of the bank's board of directors raised approximately $13 million from local investors to form BT Holdings, which purchased BankTexas from its then non-local owners. The transaction allowed BTH Bank to once again become a locally-owned financial institution.
