Sugar Hill is such an evocative name. There are quite a few neighborhoods and towns named Sugar Hill around the country. Most of them (all of them?) perhaps named as either a descriptive or hopeful reference to the possibility of a post-emancipation "sweet life" for black Americans. Sugar Hill Records takes its name from the Harlem Sugar Hill, rather than this article's Brooklyn-via-North-Carolina Sugar Hill.
