History

Established in 1900.

Chesapeake Bank's roots stretch deep into the sandy soil of Virginia's Northern Neck and reach back to the dawn of the twentieth century. Originally charted as Lancaster National Bank on April 13, 1900, we've been focused on our community from the very beginning. The bank's first clients were watermen, farmers and small business owners. We grew along with the area as it emerged as a popular vacation and retirement location. We merged with Chesapeake Banking Co. of Lively in 1968 to become Chesapeake National Bank. Always responsive to local needs, we launched the nation's first floating boat bank (to better serve the workers at the oyster packing plant in Irvington) and added the trust department two years later. We dropped the "National" from our name in 1994 and became Chesapeake Bank. Today we operate twelve offices in the Northern Neck, Middle Peninsula and Williamsburg.
