    City National History

    The bank was founded in 1954 by a small group of Beverly Hills entrepreneurs. Its offices were in Beverly Hills at 400 North Roxbury Drive. In 1970 its stock began trading over the counter.

    In 1963, when Frank Sinatra’s son was kidnapped, the bank put up the $240,000 demanded as ransom money.

    In 2000, the bank expanded into Northern California in with the purchase of The Pacific Bank, followed by the acquisition of the Oakland-based Civic BanCorp in 2002. In that same year, City National opened an office in New York City to serve its California-based clientele who do business on both coasts, as well as prospective clients in Manhattan. At about that time, the bank was ranked among America’s top companies by sales, profits, assets and market value in Forbes magazine’s “Super 500” list (2002 and 2003). It was also recognized by Barron’s as one of America’s top wealth managers for five years in a row from 2001 to 2005.

    In mid-2011, the bank opened a branch in Nashville, Tennessee to maintain “position as the premier bank to America’s entertainment industry.”
