Context

On March 24, 1983, regulators closed Prairie County Bank, headquartered in Hazen, AR. At closing, the institution held approximately $13.3M in assets and $12.1M in deposits. The FDIC record does not name an acquiring institution.

By assets at closing this is the 2623rd largest of the 3,526 bank failures in the FDIC record, and the 41st of 50 in 1983. It falls in the period the record labels S&L / Banking Crisis (1980-1995), a period with 2,367 failures peaking at 530 in 1989.

Deregulation, interest-rate shocks, and commercial real estate blowups produced the worst US banking failure wave since the Depression. Resulted in FIRREA (1989) and the RTC.
