Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent events	Subsequent events As defined in FASB ASC 855-10, “Subsequent Events,” subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to shareholders and other financial statement users for general use and reliance in a form and format that compiles with GAAP. The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events through August 21, 2012, which is the date that the Corporation’s financial statements are being issued. Based on the evaluation, City National Bancshares Corporation deferred the payment of its regular quarterly cash dividend on its Series G fixed-rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in connection with the Corporation’s participation in the Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program. The Corporation also deferred its regularly scheduled quarterly interest payment on its junior subordinated debentures issued by the Trust. The Series G preferred stock and the junior subordinated debentures issued in favor of the Trust provide for cumulative dividends and interest, respectively. Accordingly, the Corporation may not pay dividends on any of its common or preferred stock until the dividends on Series G preferred stock and the interest on such debentures are paid-up currently. In the second quarter of 2012, we sold our interest in an unconsolidated leasing subsidiary for $2.9 million, recognizing a gain on the transaction of $500,000.
