The Dunkirk branch opened in 1991, followed by La Plata, Bryans Road, and St. Patrick’s.

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.
