There were a lot of problems that cropped up when Canada and the U.S. started drafting the boundaries of the 49th parallel to officially divide the countries. The line goes pretty straight heading West until you hit Vancouver Island. The 49th tends to bisect the Island, so a deal was made that the entire island would go to Canada, but both parties failed to notice one thing; the Tsawwassen peninsula.

Located south of Vancouver, it’s a small spur of land that once belonged to Canada that was now given to the U.S. The fun part is that residents of Point Roberts, have to cross an international border every time they leave town. The town only has 1,300 residents and a primary school. Most residents need to commute 40 min through Canada, to get to work in Washington.
