'Rocky Point Landing,' as this locality was known in the 1870's, was the eastern terminus of a road that meandered through the hills between Hillsboro and Sauvie Island. A ferry made regular trips between Sauvie Island and Rocky Point Landing. At that time, Rocky Point Landing consisted of a store, a post office, a school and a sawmill. This settlement disappeared in the early 1900's. In the late 1920's a rock quarry was developed by Porter-Yett Co. The Porter-Yett Co. quarried nearly all the rock for the St. Johns Bridge construction site from the Rocky Point Landing quarry.
