Jericho Mountain is within the city limits of Berlin, the settled part of which lies 2 miles (3 km) to the east, where many views of the mountain can be obtained.

[2] The Abenaki name, and ultimately the English one, may have came about due to the mountain's long history of forest fires, the trees being destroyed leaving a rocky summit blackened by ash.

[5] In 2006, Jericho Mountain became the site of the first wind farm in the state, when Loranger Power Generation constructed three 160-foot-tall (49 m) wind turbines near the summit.

[6] The turbines were soon after vandalized and were decommissioned, and the 135-acre (55 ha) site was sold to Jericho Mountain Wind Company.

[7] Jericho Power, LLC, later leased the land and erected five 500-foot (150 m) turbines in 2014.
