King of the Mountain
A settlement grew up around the Standing Stone, a landmark for travelers on Avery's Trace. The Cumberland Mountain Coal Company laid out the town, named it Monterey, "King of the Mountains," because coal was king, and incorporated it in 1893. The sources of the Calfkiller and Falling Water rivers lie just west of town.
