Description From Owner:

Pierre Buhot settled here around 1700 and a 1751 map showed the place as Pointe a Buot. It was also shown on maps as Pont Buot in 1756 and in 1816 as Pont de Bute, suggesting there may have been a bridge here.
The place is most likely named for Pierre Buhot for a point in the Missaguash R. The post office opened as Point de Bute in 1885.
