History

Blue Mountain was formerly the name for the entire Kittatinny Mountains. In New Jersey it is now generally restricted to this peak alone, however the Pennsylvania portion of the range is still known as Blue Mountain. The Lawrence Line, dividing East Jersey and West Jersey, crosses the mountain at this point.^{[citation needed]}
