This one is from 1866. This one dates back to 1709. This is the oldest non-Indian graffito in the United States. - It was placed by Don Juan de Oņate on '16 de Abril de 1605' - which was 15 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. - The last four characters are the year - 1605.
We see the date of 1692 on this one.
Lots of people inscribed their markings in the 1870s. From September 17-18, 1849 We begin our climb to the top of Inscription Rock.
