Bancroft Survives On Baseball Town Spirit And Self Reliance
Bancroft remains a resilient small town with 180 Aluma trailers and several small employers, a busy business strip, and a stadium used by the Bandits summer league and North Union High School. Despite a 32 percent population drop since 1980, locals credit good city governance, solid property upkeep, and a public electric utility for keeping taxes and services stable.
