Variant names include Utsayanthe Mountain, Utsayanthia Mountain, Utsayantho Mountain, and Utsyantha Mountain. McGregor Mountain is located southeast of Utsayantha Mountain and Churchill Mountain is located southwest. Utsayantha Mountain is named after Utsayantha, the daughter of Chief Ubiwacha, chief of the Lenape Indians.
In 1934, a 59-foot-3-inch-tall (18.06 m) steel fire lookout tower was built on the peak. The tower was ceased fire lookout operations at the end of the 1989 fire lookout season. In July 2005, restoration work that began in 2004 was completed. The tower is on the National Historic Lookout Register and is open to the public.
