History of 1st Community Credit Union

In early 1961 a group of individuals met and decided there was a need to provide low cost credit to all persons in the Sparta Community. One of the immediate reasons for organizing this Credit Union was to solve the credit problems of patients and employees of Sparta's St Mary's Hospital. To help the Credit Union get a good start and to encourage thrift among the hospital workers, the hospital administration gave each of its 90 employees a $5.00 Credit Union share as a Christmas present in 1961.  In the fall of 1980 the branch office was opened in West Salem with one full time employee. In February of 1981 the name of the Credit Union was changed from Sparta Community Credit Union to 1st Community Credit Union. In early 2020 we opened a new branch in Tomah.  We've now been serving our communities for over 60 years and have grown to more than 15,000 members.
