I have traveled up and down King Hill many times, it is located just south of
Darlington. It has a very steep grade and was impossible for any bike to make it without a push. Just a little east of the road in the pasture and white oaks is the grade called suicide hill. Many a sled rider came up with a bloody nose or a broken bone.
Named for the Knig family, my owned the land on the east side of the road and later my father also purchased the land on the other side of the road. Long branch creek runs east and west at the bottom of King Hill.
