The area was developed in the early 1900s as a resort with a hotel and incline railway.Uncanoonuc Incline Railway, "Souvenir Views on and about Uncanoonuc Mountain" (1909). The brochure promoted the mountain as a place to build a summer cottage, stay at the hotel or gamble at the casino. There was also a trolley line. The mountains are still a good spot for hiking, snowshoeing, and scenic views of the nearby skyline of Manchester, as well as Mount Monadnock, Mount Kearsarge, and even, on a clear day, the faint skyline of Boston.
