History

First National Bank was originally founded in Mercer County, Pennsylvania in 1864 under the name The First National Bank of West Greenville and operated out of the house of then Bank President, Samuel P. Johnston, in Greenville, Pennsylvania.^[2]

The bank remained a fixture in Mercer County through World War I, the Great Depression and World War II. In 1946, bank assets totaled approximately $2 million and the bank was still housed in one office.

Across the next three decades, the bank continued to grow, and in 1974, F.N.B. Corporation was established as a financial services holding company for a growing family of business entities which included the bank, under then name The First National Bank of Mercer County and with an asset size of $120 million, and Regency Finance Company.

Along with completing the acquisition of ten branch offices from First National Bank of Pennsylvania in July of 1992, First National Bank of Mercer County acquired the name and formally changed its name to the current First National Bank of Pennsylvania.
