Our History

County National Bank of Clearfield

1865

The County National Bank of Clearfield was founded by a group of citizens from Clearfield on February 5, 1865. The law authorizing the organization of national banks was passed during President Lincoln's administration and had been in effect for less than two years.

1933

Years later, in March of 1933, President Roosevelt declared a "Bank Holiday," closing all national banks. Those banks in poor financial condition never reopened.

1934

County National, however, reorganized in February of 1934 by virtue of a stock offering to existing depositors. The bank was renamed "The County National Bank at Clearfield," and was capitalized with $225,000 of preferred capital stock, $225,000 in common stock and $90,000 in surplus. Also, County National Bank formed a Trust Department to serve customers' trust and estate needs.  To simplify growth into additional market areas, the name was changed to "County National Bank" in 1965.

Our Reorganization

1984

In March of 1984, County National Bank reorganized and became a wholly owned subsidiary of CNB Financial Corporation. This arrangement allowed shareholders to expand the financial services beyond those the bank itself was permitted to offer under current regulations.
