The credit union is named after United States Senator Lister Hill. Along with Richard Reynolds (Reynolds Metals), Hill persuaded Congress in 1937 that “it was in the best interest of the nation to being producing military airplanes.” Reynolds had traveled to Europe looking for new sources of aluminum for his company and learned through his German business contacts of the arsenal that Hitler was amassing.

The local Reynolds plant was created along with a new community, aptly named Listerhill, and supplied the nation with during World War II from 1942-45. After the war, the plant started producing Reynolds’ aluminum foil.
