  • Point Roberts is an unincorporated community in Whatcom County, Washington, United States. It has a post office, with the ZIP code of 98281, whose ZCTA had a population of 1,308 at the 2000 census. A geopolitical oddity, it is an exclave of the United States located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada. Point Roberts can be reached from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada or crossing Boundary Bay. Other exclaves of this type include the U.S. state of Alaska, and parts of Minnesota such as the Northwest Angle and Elm Point, Minnesota. Alburgh, Vermont is also separated by land from the rest of the United States but can be reached by highways originating in the United States.
  • Point Roberts ist ein gemeindefreies Gebiet im Whatcom County des US-Bundesstaats Washington. Obwohl die Siedlung gemeindefrei ist, verfügt sie über ein Postamt mit dem Zip Code 98281; im Jahr 2000 hatte das mit diesem ZIP Code verbundene Gebiet 1308 Einwohner.
  • Point Roberts és una comunitat no-incorporada del comtat de Whatcom (és a dir administrada directament pel comtat), a l'Estat de Washington als Estats Units. Va ser fundada al segle XIX per pescadors islandesos. Durant els temps de la Llei seca, va ser un sanctuari de gangsters i contrabandistes. Situat a la punta sud de la península de Tsawwassen, Point Roberts és un periclavament nord-americà : la comunitat és envoltada al nord per la Columbia-Britanica canadenca i pels altres costats per les aigües territorials nordamericanes; és doncs impossible unir-la per via terrestre des dels Estats Units sense passar pel Canadà. Aquesta situació ve del fet que en aquest indret, el paral·lel 49 serveix de frontera entre els dos països. No es tracta d'altra banda d'una excepció, diverses zones similars existint al voltant del Lake of the Woods a Minnesota, essent-ne la més gran el Northwest Angle.
  • Point Roberts est une communauté non-incorporée (c’est-à-dire administrée directement par le comté) du comté de Whatcom, dans l'État de Washington aux États-Unis. Situé à la pointe sud de la péninsule Tsawwassen, Point Roberts est une exclave américaine : la communauté est bordée au nord par la province canadienne de Colombie-Britannique et entourée sur les autres côtés par les eaux territoriales américaines; il est donc impossible de la rejoindre par voie terrestre depuis les États-Unis sans passer par le Canada. Cette situation vient du fait que le 49 parallèle a servi de délimitation entre le Canada (alors colonie britannique) et les États-Unis, pour l'expansion vers l'ouest. Ce parallèle constituant aujourd'hui la majeure partie de la frontière entre les deux pays. Cette exclave n'est d'ailleurs pas une exception, plusieurs zones similaires existant autour du lac des Bois dans le Minnesota, la plus grande étant l'angle nord-ouest. Territoire entièrement plat, sa superficie est de 12,65 km² pour une population de 1308 habitants (données 2000)

È situato nella parte più meridionale della peninsola Tsawwassen, Point Roberts è un'exclave statunitense: la comunità confina nella parte nord con la Columbia Britannica canadese ed è circondata a sud, ovest e est dalle acque territoriali americane; Quindi è impossibile raggiungerla via terra non passando per il Canada.
  • Points Roberts er et ikke-inkorporert område i Whatcom fylke i Washington, USA. I 2000 hadde området 1.308 innbyggere. Området er ytterst på Tsawwassenhalvøyen, og stikker ut fra Delta i Canada. Point Roberts kan bare bli nådd fra resten av USA enten via veiforbindelse gjennom Canada, ved å krysse bukten Boundary Bay eller ved å bruke områdets småflyplass.
