For well over a century, Liberty National Bank has been tied to the land and the people of Oklahoma. Rising amidst the grasslands and rolling hills in the town of Elgin, Oklahoma, before Oklahoma earned its statehood, Liberty National Bank began as the Bank of Elgin. The Bank of Elgin was established in 1902 as a state bank by J.A. Butler and F.R. Dykeman, with its building situated on Main Street. In 1906, a businessman and banker from Iowa named Wilbert W. Brunskill moved to Elgin and acquired the bank from Dykeman and Butler. Brunskill then sold the bank in 1908 and spent the next six years focusing on other local business affairs.
