On August 2, 1784, a battle was fought here in the 3rd Yankee-Pennamite War. After a brutal winter, Yankee settlers were forcibly pushed from their homes in the Wyoming Valley by the Pennsylvania militia. In the resulting campaign to rid the region of Connecticut settlers, fighting took place here. The grave of Jacob Everett, the only mortally wounded casualty of the battle, is located nearby on the ridge.
