Sierra Bancorp was formed in November 2000 and operates primarily through Bank of the Sierra (the Bank), which it acquired in August 2001. The Bank is a California state-chartered bank headquartered in Porterville, California. It opened for business in January 1978, and has since grown to be the largest independent bank head-quartered in the South San Joaquin Valley. Our growth has primarily been organic, but includes the acquisition of Sierra National Bank in 2000. The Bank is a multi-community financial institution that offers a full range of retail and commercial banking services, primarily in the central and southern sections of the San Joaquin Valley. On the southern end, our footprint extends east through the Tehachapi plateau and into the northwestern tip of the Mojave Desert. At the present time, the Company’s only other direct subsidiaries are Sierra Statutory Trust II and Sierra Capital Trust III, which were formed in March 2004 and June 2006, respectively, solely to facilitate the issuance of capital trust pass-through securities (“TRUPS”).

In 1961 Tri-County Financial Corporation opened our first stand alone branch in Leonardtown, with Lexington Park opening 11 years later. The Dunkirk branch opened in 1991, followed by La Plata, Bryans Road, and St. Patrick’s. In 2005, we opened our ninth branch in Prince Frederick and our tenth branch in Lusby in 2008.In 1986, the bank went public and again our name changed; this time to Tri-County Federal Savings Bank. We acquired our current name, Community Bank of Tri-County, in March 1997 when the bank converted to a state-chartered Federal Reserve member bank.Over the past six decades, a lot has changed at CBTC. Our name has changed three times and we have opened nine branches. But many things have remained constant over the years. To be a locally-owned financial institution that is involved in its communities has been a constant business model for the bank. In addition, we have always relied on exceptional customer service to be that which differentiates us from the competition.
