Horicon Bank was founded in 1896 by Daniel C. Van Brunt, the inventor of the grain drill. His manufacturing company was sold in 1911 to Deere & Company, which continues to operate the factory as John Deere Horicon Works, producing consumer products including lawn tractors. Our home office building in Horicon was constructed in 1915, and is the center of our bank administration. We have added several locations to our bank in recent years; Iron Ridge and Neosho in 1985, Beaver Dam and Burnett in 1990, Appleton and Ripon in 1998, West Bend in 1999, the Beaver Dam In-Store in 2004, and Fond du Lac in 2005. In 2008, we opened a branch location in Oshkosh. We purchased two grocery store branches that opened in January 2009. A second branch in Ripon was opened in Webster\'s United Pick\'n Save. The other in-store is located in Mountin\'s Piggly Wiggly in Mayville.
