Board Opposes Name Change For Negro Mountain

The Garrett County Board of Commissioners voiced their opposition this week to a proposed name change for Negro Mountain.

The commissioners' statement was in response to a letter they received this spring from the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The letter stated that a new name, "Black Hero Mountain," had been proposed for Negro Mountain. The letter also requested the opinion of the county on such a name change.
