Stoney Point (French: Pointe-aux-Roches) is a Hamlet with a population of about 600 located in Town of Lakeshore in Essex County, Ontario, Canada.
After a survey in 1824, a farming community developed in the area. With increased travel along the Tecumseh Road in the 1830s, small communities of predominantly French-speaking settlers began to form along the south shore of Lake St. Clair. Stoney Point flourished briefly in mid-18th century until depletion of local timber resources reduced the village's mainstay industry.
