Do you know of Cape May Point ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Cape May Point. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Cape May Point.<1>

Our sources for Cape May Point (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Cape May Point other than they indicate that Cape May Point would be found somewhere in Cape May County, New Jersey.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1878.
