The history of FirstBank began in 1901, when the Antlers National Bank was chartered. In 1906, the bank moved to the location where FirstBank in Antlers still operates today.
Late in 1990, First National Bank expanded by purchasing the failed Midwest Federal Savings & Loan location in Atoka. Midwest Federal had $10 million in total assets. Initially, Atoka State Bank, now known as AmeriState Bank rented space to First National Bank so it could operate until First National could build a new building. Within a year, land was acquired and a new bank was built.
During 2000, FirstBank also bought Farmers Exchange Bank in Antlers from the Piester family. In 2006, FirstBank entered the Coal County market by opening a new location in Coalgate, OK. A new building was built and operation began in the middle of a natural gas boom in Coal County. During the time the bank in Coalgate began operations; the Atoka location began a necessary remodel to accommodate its growth and doubled the size of the building. In 2011, FirstBank broke ground in the Choctaw County market and built a new locaiton in Hugo, Ok. In 2013, FirstBank opened thier newest location in Kiowa, OK.
FirstBank has more loans than any other local community bank in the Atoka/Coal/Pushmataha county area with over $199 million in loans, $230 million in total assets and $12.8 million in fixed assets. The bank takes pride in their proven track record and long-standing commitment to customer service. To better serve their customers FirstBank has established First Mortgage, which offers long-term fixed rate home loans and First Insurance, which offers a full line of property, casualty, health and life insurance products.
