Information About

Snake Hill




Snake Hill has had a modest, if largely anonymous, impact on the popular consciousness. A New York advertising executive, passing the hill on a train, is said to have drawn from it the inspiration for the Prudential " Rock Of Gibraltar " logo in the 1890s. Its rugged landscapes also feature prominently in artist Robert Smithson 's 1968 work ''Untitled (6 Stops on a Section)'' .

The hill and the area between Snake Hill and the Hackensack River today comprise Laurel Hill County Park .
