Swastika Mountain in will be renamed Mount Halo following a vote by the US Board on Geographic Names.It is located in a remote part of the Umpqua National Forest outside Eugene, Oregon, and will receive a new name after its old one was spotted in the local newspaper by an 81-year-old Oregonian.Until recently the mountain was relatively unknown and its name was rarely used - the small peak was named after a local cattle ranch in the early 1900s well before the term became associated with the Nazi Party.
