Fort Mountain State Park derived its name from an ancient 885 foot long rock wall located on the peak. The park was established in 1938 on 1,930 acres of land donated by Atlanta mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. The Civilian Conservation Corps built many of the park's facilities, such as the stone fire tower (above), the lake, the trails and some park buildings.
