It is located at the northern edge of the city of Moncton in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The general area is at the base of a ridge named "Lutes Mountain" which rises several hundred feet above the surrounding Petitcodiac River valley. In the 1800s, a cart path was built from the city in the south onto the ridge. The path was subsequently expanded during the early 1900s and during the age of the automobile, ca. 1931, it was noticed that at one point near the base of the ridge when driving south, motorists were required to accelerate in order to prevent rolling backward. The novelty became known as Moncton's "Magnetic Hill".
