La Petite Roche, French for "Little Rock," is a stone outcropping along the Arkansas River that was named by French explorer Benard de La Harpe. The outcropping was unique enough to be used for navigation and was often used as a boat landing point.  When a settlement was established near the rock formation the founders decided to name the town after the landmark. Located in Riverfront Park, this sandstone rock is sometimes also called Point of Rocks.
