Lore
Skitt Mountain is a summit in Georgia that rises 2,076 feet, or 632 meters. Its significance here lies less in recorded events than in the unusual origin traditionally given for its name. Local tradition holds that “Skitt” came from “skit,” a word linked to the tall tales or comic stories told there by miners. That explanation preserves a small connection between the mountain and the region’s mining past, even though the firmly recorded details are limited to its elevation and the story attached to its name.
