Hacker’s Hill Preserve was established in 2013 after a major fundraising effort. The property was purchased from the Hall family, who cared for the property for over 100 years. Generous donations from the Town of Casco, many businesses, individuals, and Land for Maine’s Future made the conservation of this special place possible. Today, Hacker's Hill is owned and managed by Loon Echo Land Trust.

Hacker's Hill Preserve is within the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki, a member tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy. The Abenaki First Nations of Odanak and Wôlinak maintain reservations along the St. Francis and St. Lawrence Rivers in the Canadian province of Quebec, where they sought refuge following colonial warfare in the Saco, Presumpscot, and Androscoggin River watersheds during the 17th and 18th centuries.‍
