About Howell Point Association

The area that is now the Howell Point subdivision was originally the farm of the Howell family for more than 70 years. The land was sold in 1925 to Harry and Hazel Crooks of Chicago. In 1930, the 80-acre property was sold to Daniel E. Henikoff of Chicago, who created the Howell Estates Development Company. The property was subdivided into lots thereafter and Howell Point began taking shape as a residential community. The small brick house at the southwest corner of Howell Drive and Shiawassee Drive was the original sales office for the subdivision. Today, there are approximately 127 owners with property in Howell Point. In 1938, the Howell Estates Development Company deeded 6 lots along the shore of Diamond Lake to be known as Willow Beach and Park. The deed directs that “said beach and park shall be controlled and maintained by the committee referred to in Paragraph (g) hereof.” Today, the property is known as Howell Point Park, and the committee responsible for maintenance and control of the Park is the Howell Point Association Board of Trustees. The Board consists of a President, Secretary, Treasurer and 6 members, all of whom are elected by the property owners of Howell Point. This link will take you to a downloadable PDF of the Park Deed as recorded at the Cass County Courthouse on July 16, 1962.
