Point Chautauqua Historic District is a national historic district located on Point Chautauqua, three miles (5 km) from Mayville in Chautauqua County, New York. It is located approximately due north, upwards and to the left, across Chautauqua Lake from the Chautauqua Institution. The district is a planned resort community laid out in 1875 by Frederick Law Olmsted as a Baptist camp meeting. Within a generation, it had become a resort community. The 80-acre (320,000 m²) district includes the serpentine street system, which ascends the steeply wooded slopes of the site, and its collection of single family residences developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. Among the architectural styles represented are American Craftsman, Queen Anne, and Carpenter Gothic.^[2]

Point Chautauqua previously had its own post office, ZIP Code 14768, that closed and merged with the neighboring office in Dewittville on April 30, 1966.^[3] The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.^[1]
