About
At 1,073 feet above sea level, Council Crest is one of the highest points in Portland. Originally known as Talbot's Mountain after its pioneer settlers, it has also been known as Glass Hill and later as Fairmount, the name of the road that encircles it. As for how it got its current name, there are two widely shared theories. One is that the name comes from stories that Native Americans held gatherings and lit signal fires here. The second comes from McArthur's Oregon Geographic Names , where the author suggests it was named in 1898 by delegates to the National Council of Congregational Churches, who met at the summit.
