Historical Notes

The people of Moose Deer Point are descendents of the Pottawatomi of the American Mid-West. They settled in southern Ontario in the late 1830's, eventually joining the Beausoleil Band of Beausoleil Island. Later, some members of Beausoleil and some Pottawatomi moved north and established a settlement at Moose Point. The Moose Point reserve was first surveyed in 1917 and vested by an Order-in-Council the same year.
 
 

Industries

The service sector accounts for more than half of the labour force, with three fifths of this group employed in the non-government service sector. The balance of the work force is employed in manufacturing, construction and miscellaneous activities. Local industries include two general stores and a marina.
