Our Story
The first settler called the community “Beesh ii ahi” (standing metal) because of a windmill that was in the Area. Later, many local people were hired to build the community irrigation and diversion dam. The dam was built using manpower and teams of horses. It is said that the people were paid $1.00 to $1.50 a day to work on the project. The chapter acquired equipment – a grader, a front-end/back-end loader, and a farm tractor for use in assisting farming families with earthwork and irrigation systems. The chapter name was changed to reflect a nearby rock formation and to date the chapter is known as “Rock Point”.
