INCA History

In 1965 most southeastern Oklahoma counties started their “war on poverty” individually. Then in 1969, ten counties were consolidated into a single entity called, “Indian Nation Community Action Foundation, Inc.” (INCAF), consisting of Atoka, Bryan, Carter, Coal, Garvin, Johnston, Love, Marshall, Murray, and Pontotoc counties.

Indian Nation Community Action Foundation’s ten counties had a population of about 165,000 people and covered about 7,000 square miles, the largest in the State of Oklahoma. The large size created logistical problems in serving recipients. As a result, on January 31, 1972, the counties of Bryan, Carter, Coal, Love, and Pontotoc were incorporated into a separate community action agency today known as Big Five Community Services, Inc.

In 1974, Indian Nation Community Action Foundation was renamed to “INCA Community Services, Inc,” to address public’s misconception that it served only native Americans.

In 1979, Garvin County withdrew from INCA to form Delta Community Action Foundation, Inc with Stephens and McClain counties.

Today, INCA serves a four-county area of Atoka, Johnston, Marshall, and Murray.
