About French Point
French Point is located at the mouth of the French River, along the east side, across from Burying Ground Point. It is referenced as French Head on the Crown Land Grant map.
The place name “French Point” originates from the legacy of early French colonial presence in the region, including evidence of settlement near the mouth of the French River, prior to 1763.
