The other two were Hatton Fields, 233 acres (94 ha) between the eastern town limit and Highway 1, and Carmel Woods, 125 acres (51 ha) tract on the north side.

[2] The Carmel Point began with the Rumsen Ohlone Native American tribe, who inhabited the area in the 6th-century.

[3] The Spanish explorers and missionaries arrived in the late 18th century and erected, within the Ohlone region, the Mission San Carlos Borroméo de Carmelo (founded in 1770).

There are about 23 people per square kilometer in Carmel Point's relatively small population.

The nearest larger town is Seaside, California, which is 6.46 mi (10.40 km) northeast of Carmel Point.
