Founded in 1899, Northport Point became a permanent summer mecca for many big-city families from the mid-west and the east coast. While there are a few year round residences, Northport Point is generally a summer community of 100 homes on a wooded peninsula surrounded by the waters ofGrand Traverse Bay .Northport Point contains a nine hole
golf course that has hosted severalUS presidents and Senators."It is a fortunate thing for all of us who love Northport Point, that, during the Glacier Period, Mother Nature graciously deposited our beautiful boulders and left intact the Peninsula which is today Northport Point. Had it not been for this geological phenomenon this spot would not exist."
