Our History

For nearly a century, Citizens National Bank has been the bank for your life. Beginning with one location in a single-frame building, today's Citizens National Bank is the second largest independently owned and operated community bank in Eastern Kentucky, with 14 branches serving seven counties throughout east and north east Kentucky.

We are the bank for your family. From the earliest branch to today's large community of banks, the Dorton family has been an integral part of our staff and our success. Dennis Dorton is the third generation of Dorton presidents to guide Citizens National Bank in our commitment to preserving the tradition of a caring neighborhood banking center. We are dedicated to providing locally focused financial solutions with personal attention to help our neighbors, families, and businesses continue to prosper today and into the future.

We are the bank for your life now and for years to come. Just in the last 10 years, our merger with The Bank Josephine, acquisition of Heritage Bank of Ashland, and our most recent merger with Kentucky National Bank have cemented our expertise and ability to provide convenient, superior financial products and services.

We are dedicated to the economic development of the east Kentucky corridor.  Companies in manufacturing, energy, healthcare, education, and the service sectors continue to embrace the Citizens Way to become commercial partners in that development.  That’s what neighbors do.

As these commercial partnerships deepen and grow, so too do Citizens National Bank’s partnerships with families and individuals.  We are committed to providing the financial solutions that allow our neighbors to prosper today and for generations to come.  We pride ourselves in local decision making and contributions we make to our community through local school systems, and civic and charitable organizations.

 

Vision Statement
