For well over a century, Liberty National Bank has been tied to the land and the people of Oklahoma. Rising amidst the grasslands and rolling hills in the town of Elgin, Oklahoma, before Oklahoma earned its statehood, Liberty National Bank began as the Bank of Elgin in 1902. Fast forward to 1997, when another local businessman with a vision for growth and development, stepped into the picture. The businessman was Clayton L. Green, Jr., simply known by most as “Buddy”. What began as a lunch between two business friends quickly evolved into a promising business opportunity. Less than a year later Mr. Green held 100% ownership of the bank’s holding company - B.O.E Bancshares In 1998, Buddy built a new location in Lawton. This new branch would be the first step in a plan for growth and acquisition. As the Bank’s reach and customer base grew, it became apparent that it was time for a new name – one that would unite the communities it serves. In 2002, the Bank of Elgin became Liberty National Bank. Today, LNB serves customers all across Oklahoma and North Texas with locations in Lawton, Chickasha, Elgin, Blanchard, Medicine Park, Apache, and Oklahoma City.
