Origin Notes and History of Rocky Bar
References to Rocky Bar that document the origin of its place name
ROCKY BAR, Elmore County.—The mines of Alturas County (q.v.) were discovered in the early 1860s by goldhunters on their way to some far-off El Dorado. The first discovery was made in the extreme northwestern end of the county in an aggregation of granite boulders, since known as "Rocky Bar," and in 1864 the placer mines of Atlanta, named from the battle of Atlanta, were discovered and a town was founded.—ONDERDONK, Idaho
