context_section_description: The area now known as Forest Hills was named for the late 19th century home of David D. Davies that once stood as part of an estate, which Davies formed in 1855 with 2,000 acres (8.1 km²), that made up what is now a large part of the village. It was a large Victorian mansion called Forest Hill and had a commanding view of the Cullowhee Valley. Later, the area became known as the Cox Farm. Forest Hill was later demolished in the 1980s, very soon after the area began being developed as Forest Hills. The current development of the neighborhood started in the 1980s. Formerly, the Forest Hills Country Club occupied a large swath of land in the village, which currently is blighted and vacant. A motor lodge that also has apartments rented to students stands just above the middle of the golf course.
