First National Bank of Henning: A Pillar of Community Banking

Since its humble beginnings in 1898, First National Bank of Henning has been a cornerstone of the Henning community. For over a century, the bank has provided personal and business banking services tailored to the needs of local residents and businesses.

A History Rooted in Community

In 1898, a group of local businessmen, including John Johnson, Ole Olson, and Lars Anderson, recognized the need for a financial institution to serve the growing community of Henning. With an initial capital of $10,000, First National Bank of Henning opened its doors in a small brick building on Main Street.

Over the years, the bank has expanded its presence within Henning and the surrounding area. In 1965, a new, larger facility was built at its current location on 5th Street. The bank has also established several branch locations, including one in Paddock Lake and another in Mahtomedi.
