Citizens National Bank originated on July 11, 1890, at the intersection of 4th and Main Streets in Laurel, Maryland, initially operating under the name Citizens National Bank of Laurel. The institution was established by Charles H. Stanley, who also served as its inaugural president, alongside Barnes Compton, acknowledged as a co-founder and early board member. Following a merger with The Central Bank of Howard County, the bank adopted the name Citizens National Bank on April 1, 1965.

The bank broadened its operations on January 3, 1977, through the acquisition of Belair National Bank.

On September 15, 2007, Citizens National was purchased by PNC Bank, with its original premises repurposed as the "Laurel Main Street Branch".
