Built in 1909-10 by W.W. Blair, the First National Bank of Sharon was the first bank in the town of Sharon, which had been incorporated in 1889. Its first officers were J.H. Saye, president; J.L. Rainey, vice president; and A.M. Haddon, cashier. From 1910 to 1929 the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced national bank notes for the bank, and it was the only bank in western York County to survive the Depression. At the time of its merger with First Citizens Bank in 1986, it was the oldest continuously operating national bank in York County. With its distinctive arched corner entrance, the bank is part of the Sharon Downtown Historic District, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
