Boutiliers Point (English: ) is a rural community in the Halifax Regional Municipality on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean on Trunk 3, 27.61 kilometers from Halifax.The original European settlers in Boutiliers Point were mostly Protestants from France. They were given grants of land under the condition that they would settle permanently in the area.The community evolved after Jacques Boutilier's son, James Frederick and Jacques' nephew John Coulaw Boutilier *purchased on September 20, 1794 from Charles Ingram's son-in-law, William Coolen, the 1500 acre Ingram Grant for 140 pounds, to be paid 20 pounds yearly. This area later became known as Boutilier's Point, likely named for James Frederick Boutilier, a patriarch of the community.Many in the community have the last name of Boutilier . It is common that one is referred to by one's first name followed by the name of one's father (e.g., Tom the son of Eric Boutilier becomes Tom Eric). Boutiliers Point is home to the Willard Christie Memorial Park, which includes a playground, located at the top of Christie's Road and Island View Drive, and a baseball pitch located down a short driveway, which is frequented by dog walkers. There is also an outdoor ice rink that is a hot spot for hockey players in the winter months. The St. James Anglcan Church, consecrated in 1848, is located in Boutiliers Point. It was the first church built on the west side of St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia. It was originally built 40 ft by 30 ft with a capacity of up to 250 people. The earliest gravestone from the cemetery is dated 1854. The church is part of The Anglican Parish of French Village. There was a St. James' school in operation during the 19th century.
