Hahns Peak was named after Joseph Hahn, a gold miner who, with companions William Doyle and George Wray came to the area in the 1860s.[5] Hahns Peak Village is named after the peak. A fire lookout tower was built by the United States Forest Service on the peak's summit in 1912 and was used until 1946.[6] After falling into disrepair, it was restored in the summer of 2016 and 2017.[7]
