2 Paleo-Indians lived in the lush canyons leading to the Green and Colorado rivers from about 10,000 to 7,800 BC and might have been the earliest people to see Arches. Although there is no evidence of Paleo-Indian use in the park, their spear points and camps have been found nearby.

3 Over time, the center of the rock falls apart a little at a time and forms an arch looking shape because the rock is very fragile. They keep doing this for a long time and they aren’t sure how long they will be there if they continue to break off but new ones form all the time.

4 John Wesley Wolfe, a disabled Civil War veteran, and his son, Fred, settled here in the late 1800s. A weathered log cabin, root cellar and a corral remain as evidence of the primitive ranch they operated for more than 20 years.

5 In 1910, the Wolfe family moved back to Ohio. They sold the ranch to Tommy Larson. Larson sold it to Mary Turnbow in 1914. Emmit Elizondo bought it from Mary's heirs in 1947. The following year he sold it to the federal government. In 1971 the site officially became known as the Wolfe Ranch.
