===Campbell Hill=== [[File:Bellefontaine Summit.jpg|thumb|right|View westward from the [[U.S. Route 68]] bridge over [[U.S. Route 33]] on the north side of the city, near Campbell Hill.]] To European settlers, [[Campbell Hill (Ohio)|Campbell Hill]] was first known as Hogue's Hill, perhaps a misspelling of Solomon Hoge's surname, the person who first deeded the land in 1830. In 1898, the land was sold to Charles D. Campbell, in whose name Campbell Hill is now known. Campbell sold the hill and surrounding land to August Wagner. In 1950, the family of August Wagner deeded Campbell Hill and the surrounding 57.5 [[acres]] to the [[Federal government of the United States|U.S. government]]. The government stationed the 664th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron on the hill in 1951. This military unit was responsible for monitoring for possible [[aerospace]] attacks from the [[Soviet Union]] during the [[Cold War]]. The 664th AC&WS and similar military units were eventually superseded by the [[North American Aerospace Defense Command]] (or NORAD). The base in Bellefontaine was closed in 1969. The Ohio Hi-Point Vocational-Technical District opened a school atop the hill in 1974. The school is now known as the [[Ohio Hi-Point Career Center]].
