The point was part of an estate purchased by the Prince family in 1680.When Yarmouth residents voted to secede from North Yarmouth in the mid-19th century, Princes Point residents were against the plan. As historian Alan M. Hall noted: "Coastal farms, such as the Nicholas Drinkwater homestead on Princes Point [Road], were often perched on more ledges than topsoil, a fact that nudged many Drinkwaters into a life at sea."In the early 1880s, Princes Point began to develop as a summer colony. For several years it had become a favorite camping spot for the villagers and the inhabitants of the inland parts of the town who came here for clam bakes and picnics. The town road ended at the John Allen Drinkwater barn, and here a large gate opened into the pasture which included the two points.A short-lived steamship line ferried passengers to and from Princes Point aboard the Madeleine.In 1905, property owners on Princes Point formed a Princes Point Improvement Association.Mrs. Bagley's Camp, a summer camp for boys, was held at the point in the early 20th century.

It runs for about 1.25 miles (2.01 km) from the town's Main Street, State Route 115, in the north to its merge with Middle Road in the south. It is so named because it leads to Portland, the state's largest city, after linking up with State Route 9 in Falmouth, Maine. (Yarmouth's Elm Street, which runs parallel to Portland Street around a half mile to the northwest, was formerly known as the "Portland road", for it was an early route into Portland prior to the Presumpscot River being bridged at Martin's Point in Falmouth Foreside.)

The Beth Condon Memorial Pathway, part of the East Coast Greenway, originates on the western side of the Portland Street and Route 1 intersection.
