History of the McDowell County Commission on Aging, Inc.

In 1973, approximately 15 groups representing senior citizens were present in McDowell County. A meeting was held with a representative from each organization present, and a decision was made to form one group to better serve the seniors of McDowell County. The new group was named the County Policy Advisory Council of Senior Citizens, Inc. A state representative assisted members of the new group with organization. The first supervisor was James Eubanks and Robert Ross was the first director. In 1976, the decision was made to change the name to the McDowell County Commission on Aging, Inc.
