==History==
Heintzelman's Point was named after Major Samuel P. Heintzelman who was in command of Fort Yuma at the time the name was given to the point during the first expedition to bring supplies up the river by Lieutenant George Derby with the schooner, ''Invincible''. Derby attempting to ascend the river in his longboat met the Major descending the Colorado in his boat at the point.〔(Report of the Secretary of War, communicating ... a reconnaissance of the Gulf of California and the Colorado river by Lieutenant Derby, Senate Executive Doc. #81, 32nd Congress, 1st Session, Washington, 1852 )〕
