The Comanche National Bank

History:

On the evening of December 19, 1889, John B. Chilton and a group of local businessmen met in Mr. Chilton’s second-floor downtown living quarters to establish the bank and elect a Board of Directors. Minutes of the organizational meeting declared the name of the bank to be “The Comanche National Bank” with a capital stock of $50,000.

The bank was issued its Charter by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and opened its doors to the pubic on March 17, 1890. By the end of 1890, deposits had grown to $47,451 and total assets were $136,064.

On April 14, 1891, the bank purchased the lot on the west end of the south side of the square for a new banking house. At this time, extensive construction was taking place in Comanche. The first train arrived in 1891 and the handsome new county courthouse was nearing completion. Scottish stone cutters, imported to work on the construction of the courthouse, made the attractive cut stone trim that can still be seen on the building today. The bank occupied this building from January 1892 to June 1969.

The Comanche National Bank has survived frontier times, world wars, droughts and was one of the few banks in the nation which remained open during and after the Great Depression of the 1930’s. As the bank continued to prosper, it outgrew its facilities on the southwest corner of the square. On March 11, 1968, the bank purchased property from Higginbotham Bros. & Co. to build a new bank building. The new facility was opened on June 2, 1969.

As the bank continued to increase in size and to serve the needs of the Comanche trade area, the bank outgrew its quarters at 200 W. Central. The bank purchased the present location in late 1984 and completed extensive remodeling and opened the new facility in April 1987.

Strong leadership throughout the bank’s history has helped the financial institution weather economic downturns and prosper during periods of growth. The Comanche National Bank is proud of its heritage and its history of sound banking service to the Comanche area. Today it stands as one of the strongest banks in the State of Texas.

Comanche National Bank is committed not only to the community and its future, but to providing the highest quality of personal, friendly banking services to our customers in Comanche and surrounding areas.
