First National Bank
Welcome to the official First National Bank page! We are proud to be your community bank for the past 60 years, and we are looking forward to a bright future, serving the communities we call home. Our main branch, located in downtown Alamogordo, has an interesting history. The bank began its operations in a small remodeled doctor’s office on the same site where we are located today. Although it’s been renovated several times, the original structure is incorporated in the interior of the current building, adding a charming historic reminder in today’s fast-paced world. First National Bank has grown from a $3.6 million bank in 1956 to a $300 million bank today. Our historic milestones include: 1958 – bank gains $1.75 million in just ten weeks 1969 – a new, modern building is built around the original site 1985 – the bank reaches $100 million in assets 2016 – we celebrated our 60th anniversary as a community bank OUR MISSION STATEMENT “Providing Innovative Financial Services While Putting our Community First by Always Doing the Right Thing”
