United Bank & Capital Trust Company

United Bank & Capital Trust Company, originally established as Farmers Bank and Trust Company in 1850, underwent several name changes and acquisitions throughout its history. In 1937, the institution adopted the name Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company, which continued until 1970 when it was again renamed to Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company. The bank moved its main office to Farmers Bank Plaza in Frankfort, Kentucky, in September 1971. In May 2010, it changed its name to Farmers Bank & Capital Trust Company once more and relocated its main office to 125 West Main Street, Frankfort, Kentucky. The bank joined the Federal Reserve System in November 2006 and modified its regulatory status to that of a state-chartered bank.
