It is named after the headland (also known by its Aboriginal name Parewarangk[3]) at the western tip[4] of Fleurieu Peninsula which was named by Matthew Flinders after John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent on 23 March 1802.[5]
It overlooks the coastline adjoining the following three bodies of water – Gulf St Vincent, Investigator Strait, and Backstairs Passage. It also overlooks the following facilities both located at the headland of Cape Jervis – the Cape Jervis Lighthouse and the port used by Kangaroo Island SeaLink which operates the ferry service to Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island.[6][7][8]
The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Cape Jervis had 264 people living within its boundaries.[1]
