'''Canal Point''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) and unincorporated community in [[Palm Beach County, Florida|Palm Beach County]], [[Florida]], United States. It is part of the [[Miami metropolitan area]] of [[South Florida]] despite its local culture and location being way more similar to the [[Florida Heartland]]. Canal Point has a population of 344 people counted in the [[2020 US census]].

The land was originally inhabited by the [[Calusa]] tribe until 1650&nbsp;CE. White settlers began occupying the area in 1909, establishing an [[agrarian community]] that currently still relies heavily on agriculture, especially [[sugar]] from sugarcane crops. The completion of the West Palm Beach Canal in 1917 allowed crops to be shipped by boat to [[West Palm Beach, Florida|West Palm Beach]] and then to other areas of the country, while construction of [[U.S. Route 98 in Florida#Conners Highway|Conners Highway]] in 1924 resulted in crops being transported by motor vehicle. The CDP is very small with very little infrastructure.

==Geography==
Canal Point is located at {{Coord|26|51|43|N|80|37|50|W|type:city}} (26.862060, -80.630543).<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=2011-04-23|date=2011-02-12|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>

According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|1.5|sqmi|km2}}, all land.

Canal Point is located along the eastern shore of [[Lake Okeechobee]], to the northeast of [[Pahokee, Florida|Pahokee]] and to the northwest of [[Bryant, Florida|Bryant]].

==History==
Archaeological evidence from [[Big Mound City]], located roughly {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on}} of Canal Point, suggests that the [[Calusa]] tribe inhabited the area between about 500&nbsp;BCE and 1650&nbsp;CE.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/archaeology-in-palm-beach-county-a-sampler|title=Archaeology in Palm Beach County|publisher=Historical Society of Palm Beach County|access-date=October 16, 2023|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230409112716/https://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/archaeology-in-palm-beach-county-a-sampler|archivedate=April 9, 2023}}</ref> In 1909, Canal Point became the first White settlement on the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee. The Southern States Land and Timber Company began planting [[sugarcane]] in the area in 1917. Around that time, the West Palm Beach Canal was completed. The canal connected Lake Okeechobee at Canal Point to West Palm Beach, allowing farms to sell crops to West Palm Beach or elsewhere in the United States via the [[Florida East Coast Railway]]. Transportation of crops by motor vehicle from the area to other destinations began in 1924 with the completion of [[U.S. Route 98 in Florida#Conners Highway|Conners Highway]], which mostly followed the path of the West Palm Beach Canal.<ref name="hspbc">{{cite web|url=http://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/canal-point|title=Canal Point|publisher=Historical Society of Palm Beach County|access-date=October 16, 2023|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230404140715/https://www.pbchistoryonline.org/page/canal-point|archivedate=April 4, 2023}}</ref>

Unlike other communities along the southeastern and eastern shores of Lake Okeechobee, Canal Point was relatively unscathed by the [[1928 Okeechobee hurricane|1928 hurricane]]. The community was likely inundated with {{convert|1.5|to|2.5|ft|m|abbr=on}} of water and one death occurred.<ref>{{cite book|author=Eliot Kleinberg|author-link=Eliot Kleinberg|title=Black Cloud: The Great Florida Storm of 1928|page=99|publisher=Carroll & Graf Publishers|year=2003|isbn=978-0-7867-1146-8}}</ref> However, the local economy suffered greatly and never recovered after construction of the [[Herbert Hoover Dike]] limited boat traffic in the 1930s. Residents saved the historic Canal Point School from demolition and hoped to convert it into an agricultural museum, but the building was destroyed by a fire in 2008. About three years earlier, [[Hurricane Wilma]] wrecked several other historic buildings in the community.<ref name="hspbc"/>
