The history of Round Knob lingers after the war of the states (1861- 1864).
Round Knob was originally owned by William Jennings a confederate sympathizer,
the land was taken from Mr. Jennings in a post Civil War lawsuit.
The area then was known as Buck's Mountain for about
50 years after its new owner Buck Moncier.
