The Citizens National Bank Of Southwestern Ohio history

1914 The Commercial Bank was acquired by the Bank of the Ohio Valley.

Stanbery declined re-election at the 1919 annual meeting.

On January 31, 1920, the Citizens National Bank opened its doors for the first time in Bluffton, Ohio, and offered all new customers an apple in appreciation for stopping by.

Then on January 3, 1927, the bank became a national bank and was renamed the Second National Bank of Paintsville.

So on June 30, 1959 to celebrate being the oldest continuously operating and most popular bank in the county, they decided to change the bank's name to Citizens National Bank.

Then on March 29, 1971, the bank built the Family Banking Center adjacent to the Motor Bank.

In 1976, the separation of functions was established, creating a distinct Chairman of the Board of Directors position, separate from the management of the bank.

In the latter part of 1982, Citizens National Corporation was created to serve as the holding company of the bank.

Then on December 11, 1985, the corporation sold two million dollars in Industrial Revenue Bonds to erect a new main office building next to the Family Banking Center.

On January 17, 1988, the new four-story main office building opened and shortly afterwards the no longer needed Motor Bank was torn down.

As our bank continued to grow during the latter half of the 20th century, operations expanded geographically. As a result, CNB opened a branch in Duncan Falls on December 12, 1996.

Citizens National Bank reorganized on December 29th, 2000, under its parent company, CNB Holdings, Inc.
