Why was the Battle of Bunker Hill called the Battle of Bunker Hill if it took place on breed's hill?

Breed's Hill, or Charleston Hill, is part of the overall structure of Bunker Hill, being the closest part of the peninsula to the Charles River, across which is central Boston. The American commander, Colonel William Prescott, had actually been ordered to build his fortifications on Bunker Hill, and opted for the closer position to the river. In retreating, the colonials crossed Bunker Hill moving up the peninsula to the northwest. (see related map link)


Why is capitol hill called the hill?

Capitol Hill is often referred to simply as "the Hill" because it is the location of the United States Capitol building, where Congress meets. The term reflects the area's prominence in American politics and governance, serving as a shorthand for the political establishment. Additionally, its geographic elevation contributes to the nickname, as "hill" typically denotes a raised area. Over time, the usage has become ingrained in political vernacular.
