Origin:
Twin Mountain originated from a King's grant from King George Third to the royal Governor John Wentworth in 1772. Governor Wentworth then issued smaller grants to friends, relatives and political associates. First settlers arrived, hardy pioneers, who farmed the land, built roads and homes. The families depended on wood from the forest, and in 1861, six privately owned sawmills operated in Twin Mountain.
