For many years, the area was little more than a jumbo-sized sandbar off the South Shore. Then, it was changed after William Reynolds dragged the channel that abides his name and constructed the city of Long Beach. The residents there name the community as Point Lookout, apparently because of its location at the end of a peninsula. In the early 1900s, the community was established as a summer colony and the streets were still unpaved during. Every resident was happy to keep it that way. Due to the establishment of the public park there, they objected and complained that it would attract people from elsewhere in the town. Although, Loop Parkway was completed in 1934, it finally made Point Lookout easy to get to.
