Writers have sometime referred to the location as Point of Rocks, and early settlers called it Dardanelles. A Dardanelles post office opened near here on October 19, 1852, with William G. T'Vault as postmaster. The T'Vault property was on the south side of the river east of Rock Point.[3] Rock Point was an important stop for travelers in the 19th century. A tavern built here in the 1870s is still standing. The community also had a railroad station named Rock Point and a Rock Point post office that operated from 1859 through 1912 with John B. White as the first postmaster. The community is known for a "fine concrete arch" that carries the old Pacific Highway (Route 99) over the river.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | work = Geographic Names Information System| publisher = United States Geological Survey | date =November 20, 1980 | url ={{Gnis3|1126197}}| title = Rock Point| accessdate =January 9, 2017}} {{Jackson County, Oregon}}{{JacksonCountyOR-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book |title= Oregon Atlas & Gazetteer |edition= 7th |year= 2008 |publisher= DeLorme |location= Yarmouth, Maine |isbn= 0-89933-347-8 |page= 61}} 3. ^1 {{Cite OGN|7th|page=818}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Jackson County, Oregon|Unincorporated communities in Oregon |
