Susquehanna Bank was founded in 1901 as the Farmers National Bank of Lititz. In 1972 this bank changed its name to Farmers First Bank, and beginning in the 1970s it began to acquire other banks in the region, establishing Susquehanna Bancshares as its holding company in 1982[1] and expanding its reach into the states south of Pennsylvania beginning in the late 1980s.[2] In 2004, Susquehanna Bancshares consolidated its operations into three banks, all using the Susquehanna name.[3][4] The company continued to expand, including two large acquisitions in 2008.[5]
In 2011, Susquehanna Bank announced its purchase of Abington Bank.[8]
In 2014, BB&T (now Truist Financial), announced the acquisition of Susquehanna Bank.[9] The deal was finalized on August 3, 2015, and all Susquehanna Bank branches, as well as the Entertainment Center in Camden, were converted to BB&T four months later.[10][11]
