ASB Celebrates 120 Years

American State Bank & Trust Company Celebrates 120 years of Excellence as Williston’s Only Locally Owned Community Bank.

WILLISTON ND-- American State Bank & Trust Company (ASB), is proud to celebrate 120 years of serving communities, businesses, and families across the region. 


Since 1906, ASB has remained committed to relationship-driven community banking built on trust, service, and local decision-making. Throughout its 120-year history, the Bank has been locally owned by the Davidson-Sogard family. The ownership began under the local leadership of W.S. Davidson, Sr., followed by Thomas M. Davidson, Sr., and continues today with Tammy Davidson-Sogard and her family. “We are so proud of the 120-year relationship my family has had with Williston and the surrounding region. Our focus continues to be to enhance that relationship by providing the best possible banking experience to the citizens of our region,” said Tammy Davidson-Sogard. 


"For 120 years, our success has been rooted in relationships we’ve built with our customers and broader community," said ASB President and CEO, David Hanson. “This anniversary is a testament to the trust generations of customers have placed in us, as well as the dedication of our employees past and present. We are incredibly proud of our rich history and remain committed to community banking and personalized service.” 


Throughout its history, ASB has supported local businesses, agriculture, families, and community organizations while adapting to meet the changing needs of customers across generations. ASB Chairman of the Board Pat Sogard said, “Few institutions have the privilege of serving their communities for 120 years. This milestone is a reflection of generations of employees, customers, and community members who helped shape ASB into what it is today. As a family-owned community bank, we recognize the responsibility that comes with that history and remain committed to preserving the values that have guided this institution for more than a century while continuing to grow for future generations.”


To celebrate the 120th anniversary, the bank will host a ribbon cutting on July 15 at 1:30PM. There will also be treats, giveaways, and opportunities to reflect on the bank’s history and legacy within the community – all of which will take place in the Main bank lobby at 223 Main Street, Williston from July 13 - 17.
