Slover Mountain (Mount Slover, Marble Mountain) is a former[2]mountain in Colton, in southwestern San Bernardino County and the Inland Empire region of Southern California. Now a hill, it was surface mined for limestone in the 20th century.[2] The Colton Joint Unified School District's continuation high school is named after the mountain.[3]

The mountain was known as Tahualtapa ("raven hill") by Native Americans and Cerrito Solo ("little solitary hill") by the colonial Spanish.[4]

History

The hill was named after a local 19th century hunter, Isaac Slover, who lived near it and who died in 1854 in the Cajon Pass from injuries caused by a bear.[5] The Colton Liberty Flag formerly stood atop the mountain.[4]

Before the mountain was mined for marble and limestone, it stood as the tallest in the San Bernardino Valley, at 1,184 feet (361 m).[4]
