Mount Halo (previously known as Swastika Mountain) is a summit in Lane County, Oregon, in the United States.[3] It is located within Umpqua National Forest.[4]
The mountain took its previous name from the extinct town of Swastika (1909), which was reportedly so named because a rancher there branded his cattle with the image of a swastika.[5][6]
A fire lookout tower stood atop Mount Halo until the 1950s.[4]
In August 2022, the Oregon Geographic Names Board confirmed that the name of the mountain would be changed from Swastika Mountain, to avoid association with the Nazi Party. Two proposals for a new name, "Umpqua Mountain" (referring to the national forest which the mountain is located in) and "Mount Halo" (referring to Chief Halito,[7] leader of the Yoncalla Kalapuya tribe), were submitted.[8][9] The name of Mount Halo was chosen on April 13, 2023.[10][11]
