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.

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.
