Red Rock is named after a nearby 386adj=midNaNadj=mid sandstone peak. The area was first noted by white military men in 1892 when Lt. W. C. Brown observed many springs during a water survey. A trading post was established in 1906.[4]
Red Rock is within the Red Mesa Unified School District,[5] which operates Red Valley/Cove High School.
