History of the Citizens Bank
The Citizens Bank of Morehead, Kentucky was organized September 25, 1928; original organizers being H. Vanantwerp, E. E. Maggard, C. E. Dillon, Squire Hogge and Frank Havens.
The Citizens Bank was opened for business on Railroad Street, now First Street; across from the old C&O Train Depot.
In 1939 the bank moved its office to Main Street (across from current Main St location)
The Main Street office in Morehead was built in 1961.
May 1979 opened Carroll B. Daugherty Branch in Trademore Shopping Center, Morehead–now called the Kroger Center.
In 1991 The Citizens Bank expanded our Main Street office building.
The Alpha M. Hutchinson Banking Center opened in the heart of Morgan County, West Liberty, Kentucky in 2002.
In 2003, The Citizens Bank entered a new market with the opening of our Farmers Banking Center in Bath County, Owingsville, Kentucky.
The Citizens Bank, in December of 2006, broadened its scope in the Bath Count market by acquiring two NEW offices; one new office in Owingsville near the Interstate, and another office in downtown Sharpsburg. This expansion gave The Citizens Bank three banking centers in Bath County.
The bank has had five Presidents during the past seventy-nine years; the first President being Dr. Thomas Asa Edward Evans, second; Carroll Browning Daugherty – 1937; third; Glenn W. Lane – 1960; fourth; Alpha M. Hutchinson – 1970; and our present fifth President, Robert D. Neff, since January, 1989. Mr. Hutchinson retained title of “Chairman of the Board” up until his death in January 2002.
Currently, Robert D. Neff is our President/CEO and Susan J. Neff is our Chairman of the Board.
