All while providing a personal banking experience for our customers and engaging in the communities we serve. It was an ambitious enterprise back in 1985 when the first Citizens National Bank opened for business especially since the local and national economies were in a downturn. The bigger, stronger institutions were acquiring many of the smaller banks while other banks were facing closure by the regulatory authorities. But that first group of local businessmen believed their concept of a locally owned and managed bank was viable. A bank that provided modern banking services with a personal, one-on one connection to financial expertise was, at this time, a rarity. Their sharp instincts and business insights proved them right. OCTOBER 7, 1985 Citizens Bank opens for business in its first location at 2005 Benton Road in Bossier City, Louisiana. Citizens National Bank grew in both asset size and profitability. By 1988, just three years after opening, the bank launched the first branch in the Heart O’Bossier Center, a convenient locale to area businesses and neighborhoods. This location made its unique concept of banking service delivery more easily available to a much larger group of businesses and individuals. 1993 Citizens announces a stock dividend for the first time. 1995 Citizens announces formation of one-bank Holding Company (Citizens National Bancshares, Inc.) 1997 Main Office opens for business. 2001 Branch opens at 1545 East 70th Street in Shreveport, Louisiana. 2002 Citizens begins Real Estate Mortgage Operations. 2005 Citizens celebrates its 20th Anniversary. 2009 Branch opens at 330 Marshall Street in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana known as the Beaird Tower. 2010 The bank becomes the #1 bank in Bossier Parish by deposits and celebrates its 25th Anniversary.

Today, Citizens National Bank has 12 locations in Caddo, Bossier, Desoto, Claiborne and Webster Parishes. Our dynamic growth enables us to serve more communities by offering a wide range of banking products and services backed by capital strength to our market areas.
