Context

On July 31, 1964, regulators closed Frontier Bank, headquartered in Covelo, CA. At closing, the institution held approximately $2.6M in assets and $2.3M in deposits. The FDIC record does not name an acquiring institution.

By assets at closing this is the 3073rd largest of the 3,526 bank failures in the FDIC record, and the 4th of 7 in 1964. It falls in the period the record labels Postwar Stability (1945-1979), a period with 161 failures peaking at 16 in 1976.

Three decades of regulated calm — Reg Q ceilings, geographic branching limits, and high industry profits kept failures rare.
