The community is located on the slopes of Iron Ore Hill, named from deposits of iron ore and manganese located in the area.[1] The deposit was discovered in 1836.[2][3] Iron was mined near here from 1848 to 1884. A reported 70,000 tons iron ore was smelted during that time.[4] The iron produced was transported to the Woodstock Iron Works to be smelted.[2]
