April 2, 2000 the First National Bank merged with The Kirk State Bank of Kirk, CO. The Kirk State Bank was chartered on January 9, 1917. The original bank was on the south end of town. The bank remained at its original location until 1968 when a new modern bank was built northeast of its original location. The new structure had approximately 1,800 square feet of floor space, which was almost twice the size of the original bank. Ownership of the bank again changed hands in 1969, when it was purchased by Leland E. House from Donald Shuck. The merger increased the assets of the bank to $285 million and established a charter in Colorado.
In June of 2001 First National Bank purchased the Colby and Oberlin branches of Commerical Federal. First National Bank acquired the Oberlin building and moved the Colby accounts to existing Colby location. This merger expanded the bank to 7 different locations and added 29.5 million in deposits, increasing First National Bank's assets to over 300 million. The latest merger was with the Security State Bank located in Bird City, Kansas. The Security State Bank was proudly established on November 1, 1929.
First National purchased The Security State Bank on March 22, 2002 with $16 million in assets. The merger increased First National Bank’s assets to $346 million. On April 1, 2005, First National Bank ventured out to the front range of Colorado and opened a new branch in Bennett, CO under the name of Colorado First National Bank.
