Clackamas County Bank - 1916

In 1911 A.L. and M.A. Deaton opened Clackamas County Bank in a portion of H.S. Eddy’s real estate office. In 1912 W.A. Proctor was taken in as a stockholder. In just a few years the tiny bank was able to construct its own building. In 1918 Proctor bought controlling interest in the bank. CCB survived the Great Depression and is going strong today. It’s still run by the Proctor family and is the oldest community bank in Oregon. The CCB corporate offices are now located on Proctor Boulevard and have been since the 1950s.

W.A. Proctor bought a six dollar train ticket to San Francisco in 1886 and then came to Oregon. He worked in logging camps for several years, had a partnership in a general merchandise store, a logging business using oxen and horses, a partnership in a sawmill and a partnership in the Sandy Land Company. In 1912 he bought an interest in Clackamas County Bank. W.A. served as Sandy’s mayor from 1924-26, Clackamas County Commissioner for 12 years and Clackamas County Representative to the State Legislature in 1931. He died in 1955 at the age of 90.
