ARROW ROCK
Settled in the early 1800's becoming a town in 1829 - - named for its abundance of flint rock as noted by Lewis and Clark as they passed by in 1804. Arrow Rock was a key Missouri River ferry crossing for pioneers heading west on the Sante Fe Trail. It was also a busy port for steamboats.​
