"In the days when Washington was still a territory, Hunts Point was a favorite camping ground of the Sammamish Indians.  Fishing and hunting were exceedingly good.  When Washington became a state and Seattle grew, the Indians were pushed north and east and finally stopped coming to the Point altogether.  During the latter part of the nineteenth century, Leigh S. J. Hunt, who resided at the end of Yarrow Point on property which he had acquired in the early 1870's from an old homesteader, brought Hunts Point.  He wanted it so that he could cut down the tall evergreen trees which grew out at the end obstructing his view of Seattle.  Later he named it after himself.  At the turn of the century when Hunt's fortunes waned, this property was taken over by Puget Sound National Bank and sold to a group of Seattle men who used it as a family retreat for Sunday picnics and summer camping.  gradually they built small vacation homes here and spent the whole summer in the Point, which grew into a very congenial community whose residents commuted to Seattle and their work via the Gazelle, a small ferry which chugged into Cozy Cove each morning at 7:15 to pick them up.  If there was no ferry they rowed.  One early settler, D. K. MacDonald, recalled that his sister-in-law was stricken with appendicitis, and he and his brother had to lay her in a canoe and paddle her over to Seattle through rough waters to get her to the hospital! 

By 1910 electricity and telephones had come to Hunts Point, and docks now accommodated the ferries.  The following year Rural Postal Service was initiated.  With these conveniences, the summer people began enlarging their small dwellings, adding furnaces, and plumbing.  When schools were available, they finally gave up their town houses and moved to the Point as permanent residences.

A clubhouse was built in 1913 at what is now 3655 Hunts Point Road.  This clubhouse became the center of social activity of these active, fun-loving people.  Tennis courts were built here also and the Hunts Point Tennis Club was formed.  Elaborate dinner parties, dances and other entertainment were given over the years to raise money necessary to pay for these improvements.  Every Saturday night something was taking place at the clubhouse.  Tennis and swimming tournaments held sway in the summer.  The summer of 1921 and 1922 saw the biggest project ever carried out by Hunts Pointers -- "Ja Ba Wa Ka Jinx", the name derived from Alice in Wonderland.  It was a huge fair staged to raise money, and every person was on a committee.  when there wasn't a committee, they made one.  There was even a "Baby Carriage" committee composed of all the infants of the Point whose job it was to amuse passersby, thereby collecting money in the tin cups fastened to the side of the carriages!"
