The auxiliary was established on the Fifth Day of March, 1922, with the main purpose of helping the fire company to raise money.  The first meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Isabelle Klabe, with ten charter members present.  The first president was Mrs. Catherine Hardy and meetings were held at the homes of various members until the fire company built its first fire hall.

    Over the years, the Ladies Auxiliary has gradually expanded its efforts to encompass not just fundraising, but active involvement in the work of the fire company and in many types of community betterment projects.  In 1931, the Holloway Terrace Fire Hall was the scene of the founding meeting of the New Castle County Ladies Auxiliary and one of the Holloway Terrace members, Mrs. Alice Stevenson, was named first County Auxiliary President.  The Auxiliary now has 79 members and nine life members, as well as a Junior Girls' Auxiliary for girls aged twelve through eighteen.
