The bluff is variously called Garrard's Bluff or Point No-Point, the latter name coming from riverboat captains because of the optical illusion that it protruded into the Mississippi River. There is a natural limestone <a href="/wiki/Natural_arch" title="Natural arch">arch</a> on the blufftop called <b>In-Yan-Teopa</b>, a Dakota name meaning "Rock With Opening".

Later he sold his interests to a Dutch immigrant named Evert Westervelt. However the Dakota were evicted onto reservations, and Westervelt was forced to diversify. He partnered with another settler, Israel Garrard, and established a town in 1857 which he named after himself. Two years later Garrard bought out Westervelt and renamed the town Frontenac, after <a href="/wiki/Louis_de_Buade_de_Frontenac" title="Louis de Buade de Frontenac">Louis de Buade de Frontenac</a> who had been governor of <a href="/wiki/New_France" title="New France">New France</a> in the late 17th century.<sup id="cite_ref-Brochure_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Brochure-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Garrard served in the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a>, rising to the rank of general. After the war he helped turn Frontenac into a summer resort for the leisure class.

However serious efforts didn't get underway until a local advocacy group purchased 160 acres (65 ha) in 1955. Their holdings more than doubled the next year when 200 acres (81 ha) of Garrard's Bluff were donated by the chairman of an insurance company. The group lobbied directly to state legislators and other influential people. However other residents of Frontenac were fiercely opposed to a park, fearing that heightened visitation would compromise the town's charm and disturb the wildlife. These concerns were not without merit; at one point there were plans for a "skyline drive" along the blufftop. A bill authorizing the park passed in 1957, with sharp restrictions on recreational development. Purchasing the land from its current owners was similarly contentious. The owner of Sand Point was a particularly adamant holdout, and several tracts had to be acquired through <a href="/wiki/Eminent_domain" title="Eminent domain">eminent domain</a>. Modest recreational facilities were not installed until the mid-1960s.
