First Liberty Bank has been a part of Liberty and the surrounding communities since 1913. The bank was founded by Bert G. Riviere. It is said that he had a bad banking experience and stated, "I can do it better." With a $10,000 capital investment, he opened the doors of a new bank named Liberty State Bank at 404 Main Street on June 13, 1913. Today, FLB has grown to seven locations in Liberty, Dayton, Hardin, Huffman, China, Livingston and Mont Belvieu in addition to an Insurance Agency and Investment Services.
