History

Established in 1974.

Like many other successful companies, Bank of Tennessee and Carter County Bank came from humble beginnings. But even when you Start Small, Think Big. With visionary leadership, knowledgeable employees, and good investment decisions, success will be the result.

Bank of Tennessee opened in 1974 in downtown Kingsport, TN. 40 years later, our Bank of Tennessee presence includes locations in Bristol, Johnson City, Gray, Erwin, Jonesborough, Blountville, Nashville, Hendersonville, and an Operations Center located near the Tri-​Cities Regional Airport. We’ll also open a new location in Mt. Juliet in 2016.

Meet the Business Owner

William B. G.

Business Owner

Carter County Bank was started by a group of local business owners and leaders in downtown Elizabethton, TN. William B. Greene Jr. purchased Carter County Bank and First People’s Bank from the Carroll Reece family in 1964 making him the country’s youngest bank president at the age of 26. Over the past 75 years, we expanded to include 6 branches throughout Carter County plus Mountain Community Bank which is located in Linville, NC.

Mr. Greene and his father, William B. Greene Sr., soon realized there was an opportunity to expand in to the rest of the Tri-​Cities area and opened Bank of Tennessee in 1974.
