high point on the coast?[edit]

Cadillac Mountain is not the highest point on the East Coast of the United States. Mount Mitchell, Mount Washington and Mount Rogers are all higher.

It's a matter of what you consider the East Coast; for example, Mount Katahdin is higher (along with much of the Appalachian) if you want to stay in Maine alone. Cadillac is the highest point on the actual coast, and I've reflected the page to say that. - NightThree 13:46, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the original commentator. the wording is still confusing, so I've clarified it further. The actual coast is ambigous; how far do you go inland before you are no longer within the realm of the actual coast? Furthermore, unlike nearby Norembega Moutain, Cadillac (argueably) does not actually rest against the seashore; it is surrounded by other peaks, hills, rises, and floodplain. I went with actual mileage from the shore, in this case the highest point within 25 miles, a safe, round estimate, although Cadillac is probably the highest point up to 28 miles from the shore. After that, other peaks in Maine and southeast New Hampshire (ex. the Moose Mountains, Brookfield NH) begin to top it out.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 18:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name Cadillac[edit]

Is the mountain named for Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the same explorer who founded Detroit? Funnyhat 01:46, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
