Point Roberts, Census-designated place in Whatcom County, United States
Point Roberts spans 4.884 square miles on the Tsawwassen peninsula, bordered by Boundary Bay and the Strait of Georgia with Canadian territory to the north.
The Oregon Treaty of 1846 established Point Roberts as part of United States territory when the boundary was set along the 49th parallel.
The Coast Salish peoples originally named this peninsula q̓ʷulƛ̕əl̕ and utilized it as a traditional fishing location before European exploration.
Students from Point Roberts Primary School must travel across the Canadian border or to Blaine for education beyond elementary grades.
This peninsula maintains American jurisdiction while being geographically disconnected from the mainland United States, requiring transit through Canada for land access.
