About

Champlain National Bank’s history dates back to 1909 when Lake Champlain National Bank began operations in Westport, NY. In 1959 it merged with Essex County National Bank, based in Willsboro, NY, and dropped “Lake” from its name. Additional branches were opened in 1961 in Elizabethtown, 1973 in Crown Point, 1987 in Keene, 1992 and 1999 in Plattsburgh, 1996 in Champlain, 2006 in Lake Placid, and 2017 in Saranac Lake. The Bank’s Board of Directors and employees are proud of the Bank’s long history serving the people of Essex, Clinton, and Franklin counties as the area’s local, community-focused Bank.
