"Chanticleer point was named by Mr. & Mrs. A.R. Morgan who purchased the property in 1912. They built an inn on the point with one of the most magnificent views in the world and named it 'Chanticleer' after the rooster in the story 'Reynard the Fox.' The area took on the name of the inn and is still known as Chanticleer Point."
