This name was given about the time of the first settlement of the town; but a use to which the hill was put in the Revolutionary War has caused the ancient appellation sometimes to yeild to that of Beacon Pole. April 16,1776, the General Court resolved that beacon should be erected at Cape Ann, on Governor's Hill; another, at Marblehead; one at Boston, on the usual place; and one on the Blue Hill, in Milton. The selectmen and two commissioned officers nearest the beacons were to have charge of them, and, when am enemy's fleet was discovered, to fire their alarm-guns, set the bells ringing, and cause the beacons to be fired with all expedition.
