Dow Jones Description

Ohio Valley Bank had expanded its business to such a degree that it quickly outgrew those rooms. A new building was constructed in 1896 on the corner of Second Avenue and State Street in Gallipolis. At the time it was the tallest building in Gallipolis. It still stands today and houses the women's apparel store, Brittany's. After its initial construction in 1896, this building was continually remodeled until the construction of the Bank's present Main Office in 1961. This modern banking facility boasted the first drive-thru windows and free customer parking in Gallia County. Ohio Valley Bank's first branch opened in 1970 with the completion of an office in Rio Grande, Ohio, adjacent to the University of Rio Grande campus. During the bank's 100th anniversary in 1972, the Mini Bank was opened in Gallipolis, located opposite Fourth Avenue from Washington Elementary. In 1976, the Jackson Pike Office was opened across from Holzer Medical Center in Gallipolis, Ohio. Gallia County's very first ATM was installed at the Mini Bank in 1979. The bank's first venture into banking across the county line took place in 1991. Ohio Valley Bank acquired Civic Federal Savings Banks in Gallipolis, Jackson and Waverly, Ohio. Shortly after, the Ohio Valley Banc Corp. commenced operation as a one-bank holding company, with Ohio Valley Bank Company being a wholly-owned subsidiary. Ohio Valley Banc Corp. stock is still traded on NASDAQ under the symbol OVBC. ...
