In the 1950s, McDowell County, West Virginia had a population of 100,000. A national center for coal mining, this area of the county attracted politicians like Harry Truman and John Kennedy and was home to the famous "Rocket Boys" who won the 1960 National Science Fair. In 2010, the population of McDowell County was just over 22,000. In the second half of the twentieth century, the county lost tens of thousands of jobs in the coal industry, and the county-wide poverty rate reached 37.7% in 1990.
