Rocky Point is an unincorporated community in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States.[1]
In 1969, Rocky Point was described as "nothing more than a short siding"[2] on the Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend Railroad, which went from Gila Bend, Arizona to Ajo, Arizona.[3] In 1972, Rocky Point and other sidings were humorously referred to as a "metropolises", though the article stated that "the point is rocky".[3]
