King Peak is a summit in Humboldt County, California, in the United States.[1] It is the tallest mountain of the Lost Coast.[3]
King Peak was named for a captain of the United States Army.[4]
Going back to 1886 maps, this mountain was referred to as "King's Peak". Circa 1949 it was listed on one map as "King Peak" but later maps show "King's Peak".
