The "Pole Farm" is the name given to this particular area in Mercer Meadows. This plot of land used to be filled with hundreds of tall, timber poles that played a crucial role in the telecommunications era of the 1950s.

This used to be an international transmission site operated by AT&T back in the 1950s. The countless telephone poles are what caused people to nickname it the "Pole Farm". Today it is part of Mercer Meadows.
