Did you know that Mountain Park was once called Park Mountain for a brief time? The U.S. Postal Service required the name change, as evidenced by the 1922-23 Mountain Park School catalog below, because there was another Mountain Park in the United States. The people of Mountain Park pointed out to the Postal Service that there were multiple other mailing addresses in the United States that shared the same name (Denver, Colo. and Denver, N.C. for example), so the Postal Service officially changed the name back to Mountain Park. We discovered this information while working on some upcoming pieces about Mountain Park, which we hope to share with you soon! Surry County Schools
