On September 24, 1939, Carter County Bank released a grand opening announcement that said our policy would be "To offer the public every modern banking service and to assist in every way possible in the growth of this great county."

Carter County Bank opened its doors on September 25, 1939 in the building presently occupied by the Main Office on Elk Avenue in downtown Elizabethton, Tennessee.

The first branch office was established in Roan Mountain, Tennessee in March 1950. Additional branches were opened in Elizabethton including the Broad Street branch in 1965; the Milligan-Pinecrest branch in 1969; the Williamsburg branch in 1974; the Village branch in 1984; and finally the Mountain Community Bank branch in Linville, NC in 2004.

Customer service is our most important responsibility and it's something that we take seriously. Good customer service is listening to the needs and desires our customers have, and doing everything we can to make sure they are met. Offering everything from competitive rates to the latest in technology to old fashioned customer service, Carter County Bank has had Strong Roots and Branches since 1939.
