		Down in the southwest corner of the state, a century of ferry service continues daily as needed to keep roadway traffic moving in the lower Delta for farmers, sportsmen, local residents and others of a pioneering breed who are not exactly faint-of-heart personalities.
		The ferry crossings are free to the public and are not on a strict timetable schedule.
		As the King's Point ferry enters its second century of service to this southern tip of Delta country, road superintendent Winans is very optimistic about the future of the ferry service there despite the other closings in Mississippi.

		Ferry Point Partners, which includes golf superstar Jack Nicklaus and developers Jonathan Stern, Gagne, Paul Kanavos, and Dan Bythewood, subsequently signed the largest-ever city contract providing for the private operation of a municipal park facility.
		Ferry Point Partners had already been working at the park for almost a year when a pending lawsuit from environmental groups challenging the legality of the deal apparently spurred the Franchise and Concession Review Committee to finally approve the deal at a special meeting on June 1, 2001.
		The amount of debris that has been dumped at Ferry Point Park is worth close to $17 million in disposal fees at the rate of $675 per 30 cubic yards charged by Browning Ferris Industries, one of the city's biggest commercial waste hauling firms (which does not dump at the park).

		Point Stevens was the next name applied to Point Richmond, appearing on charts of the Bay in 1850.
		But Point Richmond seemed to be in a state of confusion during the fifties and even into the sixties.

		Over the years, Ferry Point became a very busy terminal, not only for ferry-to-rail passengers, but also for railroad cars that were transferred to barges for the trip to San Francisco.
		Until recently, the development at Point Richmond was impeded by its remote location, accessible only through a long, dark tunnel and an industrial drive past the marine terminal and a tank farm belonging to a former vegetable oil plant.
		Point Molate came alive after the 1906 Earthquake, when the California Wine Association’s buildings in San Francisco were destroyed, and the organization sought a new location for its winemaking operations.

		Though Ferry Point Park has grown in area by landfill, the original parcel of 171 acres first came under Parks jurisdiction in 1937.
		The land on which Ferry Point Park was built was part of the Throgmorton Grant of 1642, and it was farmed by a series of families through the next two centuries.
		The park was named for the ferries that traveled between the Bronx and Queens, from Westchester Village to Whitestone and from Clason Point to College Point.

		A statistical analysis of the 12 largest peaks at Harpers Ferry was performed to determine the relation between recorded peak water-surface elevations at Harpers Ferry and at the three surrounding USGS streamflow-gaging stations.
		However, because the Point of Rocks station is located downstream of Harpers Ferry, it might be of limited use in predicting peak elevations at Harpers Ferry during a flood.
