Crownpoint was founded in 1912 by Samuel F. Stacher as an Indian agency to serve the Navajo people in the Pueblo Bonito Agency of northwestern New Mexico. A school house, agency office and power house were built to accommodate future planned establishments.
Chief Becenti, a local Navajo headman, is one of the first documented leaders of the area. He resided north of Crownpoint, where later in the 1930s a small community would be named after him, called Becenti Lake.
In June 1965, Crownpoint was recognized as a local chapter government sub-unit of the Navajo Nation government. There are a total of 110 Navajo chapters across the Navajo Nation. The Crownpoint chapter serves as the center of Eastern Navajo Agency, and many tribal offices are located in the community.
