History
First National Bank was founded in Mercer County, Pennsylvania in 1864 as First National Bank of West Greenville and operated from the home of Samuel P. Johnston, then president of the bank in Greenville, Pennsylvania. The bank dropped "West" from its name in the 1880s because the town did the same.
The bank remained a fixed bank in Mercer County during World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. In 1946, the bank's assets totaled about $2 million and the bank was still housed in one office.
