The two peaks were a distinctive landmark along the Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail, a major route for westbound settlers in the 19th century. The formation was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963. and   The name is that of a Native American chief who was killed here in a battle with the Spanish in 1717. Read more on Wikipedia
