Pocumtuck Mountain is a mountain peak inCharlemont, Massachusetts, located west of the abandonedCatamount settlement. Its summit ledge features wide views of westernFranklin County and northernBerkshire County. Pocumtuck Mountain is often confused with the nearby Pocumtuck Range inDeerfield, Massachusetts.
The mountain was named after thePocumtuc Indians on October 16, 1855 during one of Catamount's Old Homes Days Festival. Such festivals were held often on the scenic mountain – including one visited byMassachusetts Governor John Davis Long.[citation needed]
