History. The Abenaki people called the mountain &quot;Miccasadenauk&quot;, meaning &quot;mountain with a black summit&quot;, which gave way to its original English name, &quot;Black Mountain&quot;. The Abenaki name, and ultimately the English one, may have came about due to the mountain's long history of forest fires, the trees being destroyed leaving a rocky summit blackened by ash.
