- Crowders Mountain is one of two main peaks within Crowders Mountain State Park, the other peak being The Pinnacle. The park is located in the western Piedmont of North Carolina between the cities of Kings Mountain and Gastonia or about 25 miles (40 km) west of Charlotte. Crowders Mountain abruptly rises nearly 800 feet (240 m) above the surrounding terrain, and has an elevation of 1,625 feet (495 m) above sea level. Although stated as true on some sites, the mountain was not named after Ulrich Crowder [Krauter], a German merchant and farmer. In 1789, Ulrich purchased land much farther north of the mountain before moving west. The mountain is named for Crowders Creek, which originates near the base of the mountain. The original namesake of Crowders Creek is unknown, but mostly likely lived farther south along Crowders Creek. Crowders Mountain and The Pinnacle, located to the southwest, once served as markers to separate the hunting grounds of the Catawba and Cherokee Indians. In the early 1970s a mining company began doing exploratory sampling of areas along what is now the Backside Trail with the intent of purchasing the minerals rights to excavate the mountain for kyanite, barite, and iron. This led local concerned citizens, educational institutions, and local governments to join together and convince state government pursue the creation of a state park in order to protect the area. In 1973 the State of North Carolina created Crowders Mountain State Park. It opened to the public in 1974. Crowders Mountain proper was added to the new park in 1978. The Pinnacle was added in 1987. In the year 2000, 2000+ acres were purchased. This purchase brought the entire ridge line of Kings Mountain into the park and took park boundaries to the North Carolina/South Carolina state line. Both monadnocks present sheer rock cliffs which are 100–150 feet (30–46 m) in height. The cliffs of Crowders Mountain are popular among rock climbers. Rock climbing is no longer permitted on The Pinnacle. Hiking trails lead to both summits, from which it is possible to view the skyscrapers of nearby Charlotte, North Carolina, on a clear day. (en)
- Crowder's Mountain est une montagne des États-Unis située dans le comté de Gaston en Caroline du Nord. Elle a donné son nom au parc d'État dans lequel elle se trouve, entre les villes de Kings Mountain et de Gastonia, à 40 km à l'ouest de Charlotte. Crowder's Mountain domine de près de 240 m les environs et culmine à 495 m d'altitude. (fr)

Il parco statale e le due montagne sono situate nella Contea di Gaston, nell'area pedecollinare dello Stato americano della Carolina del Nord, tra le città di Kings Mountain e Gastonia, circa 40 km a ovest della popolosa Charlotte. La Crowders Mountain è geologicamente un monadnock, cioè un monte che si innalza isolato rispetto al terreno circostante; la montagna, caratterizzata da pareti ripide con una falesia di 30–40 m, si innalza fino 495 m sul livello del mare e 240 m rispetto al terreno circostante. I due monadnock Crowders Mountain e "The Pinnacle" fungevano un tempo da linea di demarcazione tra i territori di caccia delle tribù di nativi americani dei e Cherokee. (it)
- Crowder's Mountain is een berg van het type inselberg in Gaston County in de Amerikaanse staat North Carolina. Het is een van de twee pieken in Crowders Mountain State Park, de andere bergtop is The Pinnacle. Het park is gelegen in het westelijke deel van Piedmont van North Carolina tussen de steden van Kings Mountain en Gastonia of ongeveer 40 kilometer ten westen van Charlotte. Crowders Mountain stijgt abrupt bijna 240 meter boven het omliggende terrein uit en heeft een hoogte van 495 meter boven zeeniveau. Hoewel dit soms wel wordt beweerd, is de berg niet vernoemd naar Ulrich Crowder [Kräuter], een Duitse koopman en boer. In 1789 kocht Ulrich veel verder ten noorden van de berg land voordat hij naar het westen vertrok. De berg is genoemd naar Crowders Creek, die zijn oorsprong vindt in de buurt van de voet van de berg. De oorspronkelijke naamgenoot van Crowders Creek is onbekend, maar leefde hoogstwaarschijnlijk verder naar het zuiden langs de Crowders Creek. Crowders Mountain en The Pinnacle, gelegen in het zuidwesten, dienden ooit als oriëntatiepunten om het jachtgebied van de - en de Cherokee-Indianen te scheiden. In de vroege jaren 1970 werden plannen gemaakt om de berg te ontwikkelen en af te graven voor kyaniet, een mineraal dat wordt gebruikt om porselein te maken. Dit leidde ertoe dat de gemeenteraad van Gastonia, van North Carolina en andere bezorgde burgers de berg kochten en de berg aan de staatoverheid gaven. In 1974 creëerde de staat North Carolina het Crowders Mountain State Park. De berg biedt steile rotsen die 46 meter de hoogte in gaan en populair zijn bij bergbeklimmers. Verschillende wandelpaden leiden naar de top van de berg, van waaruit het mogelijk is om de wolkenkrabbers van het nabijgelegen Charlotte te zien op een heldere dag. (nl)
