Lake Point is a city on the eastern edge of northern Tooele County, Utah, United States.[3] It is located 17 miles southwest of Salt Lake City International Airport and 11 miles north of Tooele, Utah. At its location on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, the city is served by Interstate 80 and Utah State Route 36.
The community was originally settled in 1854 under the name of E.T. City, in honor of Ezra T. Benson. It was renamed Lake Point in 1923.[4]
A 2021 feasibility study for the proposed Lake Point incorporation area indicated an estimated population of 2,599.[5] During the 2021 United States elections, the residents of Lake Point voted to become a city with a five-member council; the first city council was then elected the following year.[6] [7]
