About State National Bank

Since 1904 The State National Bank has a history that dates back to the early 20th Century. It grew out of a private banking enterprise in Groom that began in 1904. Lasting Legacy The bank survived the panic of 1907, the “Dust Bowl” era of the 1930s, two world wars, and reconstruction periods that followed. It was restructured in 2003, adding new shareholders and directors, and expanding by opening a branch in Amarillo. Bank of Groom The original private bank was called Knorpp and Blasdel, Bankers. In 1905 J.W. Knorpp bought the Blasdel interest, and the name was changed to The Bank of Groom. It was reorganized into the State Bank of Groom in 1908. In 1925 the bank surrendered its State Charter and began operation as The State National Bank of Groom. During the one hundred plus years of the bank’s existence, it has had only eight presidents: John C. Knorpp, J.W. Knorpp, M.L. Steele, C.L. Culver, John D. Howard, Bobby Babcock, Dusty Sloan, and Deke Alexander the current president. In 2023, local investors with a passion for community and commitment to the Panhandle region joined legacy shareholders to expand the Bank’s products, services, and locations to better serve the Bank’s existing and future customers.
