Its population was 27 in the Canada 2011 Census. In Algonquin, the place is known as Opacikoteak Ecitacikewapan, which means "village built on high mountains".[1] The community, located on the shores of its namesake lake, is not in an Indian reserve. It is seasonally occupied by members of the Wolf Lake First Nation, who otherwise live in the Timiskaming and Kebaowek reserves.[1] HistoryOriginally the settlement was located {{Convert|20|km}} south on Hunter Lake. This place was called Hunter's Lodge and had a Hudson's Bay Company trading post from 1846 on. The lake and the post were probably named after James S. Hunter, who was administrator of the post at that time.[1] Around 1869, another member of the Hunter family, George, left Hunter's Lodge and moved to Hunter's Point. He managed to attract enough people to open a post office in 1886 (which closed in 1970). The popularity of the new site likely led to the closure of Hunter's Lodge trading post in 1890.[1] References1. ^{{cite cgndb|EPPBH|Hunter's Point}} [2]2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{toponymie |278167}} }} External links
