About McRoberts
Tucked into a scenic mountain valley in Letcher County, McRoberts is a quiet eastern Kentucky community nestled between Fleming-Neon and Jenkins. The town was founded in 1912 by the Consolidation Coal Company, which laid out the entire settlement along the creek before mining operations began. In those early days, the company built everything from the family homes and neighborhood roads to the local schools and churches.
Today, McRoberts has settled into a peaceful, close-knit neighborhood where homes still follow the gentle curves of the hollow. Residents head to neighboring towns for work and everyday shopping, while local potluck dinners, music, and seasonal gatherings often center around the community building on Band Mill Road. It is a calm Appalachian community with deep historical roots and a relaxed pace of daily living.
