In 1861 Fort Boreman was occupied by invading Union troops that recognized the advantage of the hill that overlooked the Ohio and Little Kanawha Rivers. At the time the hill was called Mount Logan.
Mount Logan was also home to the "pest house" that was home to people who were infected with small pox. This led to a noteriety for the hill, but it was not positive. Mount Logan was considered a place to avoid and was a problem for the residents of Parkersburg.
Mount Logan was later renamed Fort Boreman after the first governor of West Virginia, Arthur I. Boreman, who was from Parkersburg.
Now the strategic hill is the location of a park with a beautiful view of Parkersburg.
