The original ten founders came together in 1968 to create a gathering place for seniors in the Sebastopol Community.
The Sebastopol City Council gave their support and authorized the use of a city-owned house at 167 North High Street. The Burbank Activity Center became incorporated the following year.
Now known as the Sebastopol Area Senior Center, the facility has the distinction of being the oldest continually operating senior center in Sonoma County.
