First National Bank was founded in 1894 with a capitalization of $50,000. At that time, the bank was known as the Bank of Manitowoc and was located at the southwest corner of York and Eighth Streets. In 1927, the bank moved into the Manitowoc Hotel Building. The bank grew steadily throughout the years and had reached $13 million in assets by 1962. In 1974, First National Bank moved to its present facility at 402 North Eighth Street. In addition to the Eighth Street location, First National Bank has thirteen other office locations.

The Francis Creek office was opened in 1972 when the bank acquired the State Bank of Francis Creek. In 1985, a branch was opened in St. Nazianz when the St. Nazianz State Bank merged with First National Bank. That same year, the bank topped $100 million in assets. Due to strong demand for First National Bank's services in Two Rivers, a branch office was opened in Two Rivers in the fall of 1989. A First National Bank branch in Mishicot was opened in 1991. A second office in Manitowoc was opened on Custer Street in 1992.

In 1994, First National Bank brought community banking back to the communities of Kiel, Newton, and Bellevue.

Our tenth office opened July 1999, in New Holstein. The bank grew to twelve offices in December of 1999, when First National Bank acquired the Dairy State Bank and its two locations in Plymouth. First National Bank in Ashwaubenon opened March of 2000 and is the bank's newest bank location. On January 1, 2001, First National Bank expanded its services to include insurance products by purchasing Vincent Group, Insurance and Financial Solutions, with office locations in Manitowoc and Green Bay. In April of 2005, Insurance Management joined Vincent Group servicing the Little Chute area.

May 2004 saw a new bank office location open on Expo Drive in Manitowoc, attached to the offices of the Vincent Group. In April of 2006 First National Bank acquired George V. Reis Investment Group, Inc., located in Two Rivers.
