Peter E. Armstrong founded a religious community here in 1850. He envisioned his followers as "wilderness exiles" in a " City of Heaven" on this mountaintop. In 1864 the land was deeded to Almighty God " and to His heirs in Jesus Messiah." Because of the " owner's" nonpayment of taxes, the county sold the land in 1876 to A.T. Armstrong, Peter's son. Peter Armstrong himself struggled to continue this community before he died in 1887.
