History

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Originally called Percy's Cove, the name was changed to Pointe-Verte (or Green Point) in 1974 after musician Percy Sledge moved his summer home away. The citizens felt without Sledge residing in the area the name held no validity and council decided on the change. It was official in 1975.
