The Newark Park National Bank opened on January 1st, 1909. [1]
In 1952 a branch in Hebron was opened and the Kirkersville Bank Co. was purchased and opened as a branch of Park National. They were the second bank in Ohio to have a credit card. [2]
One of the most well known figures at the bank is John W. Alford. He began working at the bank in 1935 and was named president in 1956, before serving as chairman of the board in the 1980s. [3] The former Krebs building at 21 S. First St. was named in his honor on October 15th, 1985, fifty years to the day that he began his career at Park National.
