History

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. The name was kept, though the community was moved several times and was finally located on level land ''circa'' 1867. Climbing Hill's population was 37 in 1902, and 83 in 1925.
