Description From Owner:

The Mi'kmaq called the point Môgôleoitjg for 'brant,' a small goose or Moinagenetjg for 'bear trapping.'
The census of 1798 shows Roderick Gillis as a resident here. For a time the point was called Low Point for a small rural community and in 1765 Samuel Holland called it Village Point.
