Real history
Benedict Spires settled Rock Bluff in 1854, and it became a leading outfitting point for plains freighters. By 1877 it had almost 200 residents, a Methodist church and businesses, and it played a role in the 1866 statehood vote. The Naomi Institute closed in 1872 and its building became the Rock Bluff School (Wikipedia).
