## History[edit]

The community was named by C. E. Ostrander, the first settler and postmaster, whose home was on high ground and could not be reached except by climbing a hill. Climbing Hill is also known as home of the Hanckocks.[4] The name was kept, though the community was moved several times and was finally located on level land circa 1867.[5] Climbing Hill's population was 37 in 1902,[6] and 83 in 1925.[7]
