The people of this coastal region have always connected with inland communities and distant points, which continues to create the unique social histories and landscapes of Salem.
Located between Salem’s South River and Palmer Cove, “The Point" is one of several historic neighborhoods and longtime hubs of cultural exchange. Like all of Salem, the neighborhood is ever-evolving, perhaps most evident by its long history of names.
