History edit
The bank was founded on May 1, 1925, by Rollin Charles "RC" Dart and his son, Doc Campbell Dart, as The Dart National Bank of Mason.[1] RC was president of the bank until his death in 1943. Doc Campbell Dart then became president and chief executive officer of the bank until his death in 1960.[2]
In 1937, the bank acquired First State Savings Bank.
Two court cases involving Dart, in 1959 and 1962, helped to clarify and establish precedent in a segment of personal property law governed by the Uniform Trust Receipts Act (UTRA).[3]
In 1974, the bank opened a branch in Holt, Michigan.[4]
The founder's grandson, Rollin Dart, was chairman from 1962 to 2005, and president from 1962 to 1999. During Rollin’s tenure, the bank's assets increased from $8 million to $180 million.[4][5]
In 1999, Ronald Rhoades became president and chief executive officer of the bank.[4]
In April 2005, Dart opened a branch in Grand Ledge, Michigan.[4]
Effective March 1, 2007, after the retirement of Ronald Rhodes, Peter Kubacki became the bank’s fifth president and chief executive officer.[4]
