abstract:Edwin York Bowen (22 February 1884 – 23 November 1961) was an English composer and pianist. Bowen’s musical career spanned more than fifty years during which time he wrote over 160 works.
But the site traces its history to the early 1960s, when a company called Bowen-McLaughlin York (BMY) built a plant there because it was roughly equidistant between the two Army commands involved in buying combat vehicles.
