Sugar Mountains





The mountain's name comes from people that thought the snow on the bottom to seem like grains of sugar. They were the first settlers here and the name stuck. Another reason for the name Sugar Mountain is because in 1900 a majority of the inhabitants worked during a sugar factory. An old tale said that one night in late January, the sugar within the factory was leaking out of the building and caused a layer of white grains that looked just like snow.
