Our board is made up of individuals focused on a common goal, to help Kingston National Bank continue to provide the right products and services to our communities.

The Scioto Valley Bank, located in the Village of Kingston, was organized in 1883 and was the first banking institution in the community, with James May as President and Fred Moore as Cashier. Lemuel Boggs and Myron May followed as President’s until June 23, 1909, when the Bank failed and officially closed its’ doors. Shortly thereafter, on August 14, 1909, The First National Bank was organized, with Nelson Dunlap as President. He was preceded by Wm. Stimmel and Philip Dunlap. The name of the Bank was changed from The First National Bank to Kingston National Bank in 1976. In 1983 the Adelphi and Kingston branches of the Dime Bank of Marietta, Ohio were acquired by Kingston National Bank, at which time the Kingston office was closed and the Adelphi Branch was maintained as a separate office. In 1995 the Clearcreek Valley Branch in Amanda was opened by Kingston National Bank in a facility that was originally the Clearcreek Valley Banking Co., acquired by Central Trust of Cincinnati and eventually closed. In 2005 the Bank opened their third branch office at South Bloomfield in Northern Pickaway County, building a new facility on-site that is located directly off of U.S. Route 23. In February of 2013, Kingston National Bank widened their footprint by opening a fourth branch office on Western Avenue, in Chillicothe, Ohio. In August of 2018, Circleville became our latest office location at the old Circleville Oil site on Court Street near the heart of downtown.

Kingston National Bank defines itself as “A Real Community Bank, Really Serving Communities”, a motto that was established when Phil Dunlap and his associates founded the Bank back in 1909. The tradition of providing customers with excellent banking products and superior customer service still prevails. The niche in the community then, as well as now, has been our strong presence in the farming and agri-business community.
