PORTLAND — The name of a mountain south of Eugene, Oregon, will soon be changed.
The Oregon Geographic Names Board confirmed Wednesday that Swastika Mountain, which refers to a symbol of the German Nazi Party, will be changed, KOIN-TV reported.
A final decision on the new name for the mountain outside Cottage Grove will be made in December.
So far, two name change proposals — Umpqua Mountain and Mount Halo — have been submitted to the Oregon Geographic Names Board.
The mountain is more than 4,000 feet (1,219 meters) tall and is located in the Umpqua National Forest.
