HOOVER KNOBS are two small mountains (elevation 1510
feet) a few miles north of Pottsville and twelve miles west of
Hamilton.
They are so named because at this point Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fox Hoover had
a confrontation with a band of Indians about 1870. Nearby cowboys rescued
the Hoovers saving their lives. The Hoovers were some of the earliest
settlers in this part of the county.
