Moose Hill named after a competition in the area, where all the strongest men in the area had a challenge to make a trail in order to go up the mountain easily. The family that made the best section of the trail would be allowed to name the mountain. The Moose family won the competition, and named it after themselves. However, due to the lack of definition of a mountain during those times, the mountain was called a hill. Nowadays, although the mountain is referred to as Moose Hill, it is considered a mountain. The trail became known as Moose trail, and is the easiest way to reach the summit of Moose Hill.
