Sedona was named after a pioneer. Sedona Schnebly
Sedona & Carl Schnebly arrived in Sedona in 1901. Carl saw the need for a mail Service and applied to the government in 1902 for a post office. He suggested naming it 'Schnebly Station', which was too long for a Stamp cancellation. His brother suggested using Carl's wife's first name: Sedona. The name stayed.
Before the town was named Sedona, the area was referring to as: Red Rock neighborhood.
