Needles was named after "The Needles", a group of pointed rocks on the Arizona side of the river. I guess you would more need to know who named the rocks.

The city was founded in 1883 as a result of the construction of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, which crosses the Colorado River at this point. The name is derived from pointed mountain peaks and the wind-blown holes in them (which can only be seen by boat from the Colorado River), the Needles, at the south end of the valley.

I'd say the railway workers founded it. It does not appear one singular person was responsible for the founding of the town or the naming of it.

You should have given us the information you already had so we didn't waste our time doing YOUR HOMEWORK.

This is all soooo silly! Before the ice age this area was flush with foliage and home to a large clan of porcupine. The name choices were 2: Needles or Quills. For years it was a 50/50 vote until a visiting relative snuck in a vote- and Needles became the official name.
