Origin of name Arkoe was founded in 1874 by Dr. P. H. Talbot. He built his home called "The House of the Seven Gables" after the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel of the same name, overlooking the One Hundred and Two River. In the novel Peter Wilkins and the Flying Indians, by Robert Paltock, these fictional flying Indians take off and land on suitable stretches of rivers called 'arkoes'. The view of the river from the library windows of his home is said to have reminded Dr. Talbot of one of these 'arkoes'.
