In 1959, the [[Maine Legislature]] voted to give names to the various [[mountain]]s and [[mountain range|ranges]] in northwest Maine. The collective name of the '''Longfellow Mountains''' is in honor of the Maine-born poet [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]] (1807–1882).

This and most of Maine's mountain ranges and mountain peaks are part of the Appalachian Mountains System.<ref name=peakbagger/>
