BancorpSouth can trace its beginnings back to the formation of many smaller banks across the South, all working toward the same goal; to provide their customers with the financial services they needed to rebuild a land ravaged by Civil War. In 1876, a banking charter was granted to Raymond Trice and Company, a rural general store in Verona, Mississippi. A corner of that mercantile shop was dedicated to the Bank of Verona, which later changed its name to the Bank of Lee County, the Bank of Tupelo and in 1966 became the Bank of Mississippi. By 1986 the bank stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Tennessee state line.
 
At the same time, a group of businessmen in Jackson, Tennessee were sowing the seeds for what later became Volunteer Bank. A merger of these two banks led to the formation of BancorpSouth in 1992. Alabama also proved to be a fertile ground for bank growth, and in 1998 BancorpSouth moved into that state, joining with The Highland Bank of Birmingham, First Community Bank of Fort Deposit, The First National Bank of Opelika and in 1999 joining with The Home Bank of Guntersville.
 
It was in September, 2000 that the merger between First United and BancorpSouth created a 9.3 billion dollars regional bank with 240 locations in six states. Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama all have branches and ATM’s under the BancorpSouth gum tree logo, offering a vast array of financial services from checking and savings to insurance, investments and wealth management. Since that time, BancorpSouth has become an over 11 billion dollars financial services provider with a footprint stretching across the Mid-South.
