 Another potential origin of the name comes from the Forest Ranger cabin in the area.From 1906 to 1930, the Dominion Forest Service built over a dozen ranger cabins in the Pasquia National Forest Reserve, including one at the mouth of Mountain Creek, which originates in the Pasquia Hills and empties into the Nitenai River.The cabin was officially called Mountain Creek Cabin, but was often shortened to Mountain Cabin, even in official correspondence.
