From the cape, near this place, there is a prospect of Ireland. Population 1816, in 1811. W. Long. 5. 20. N. Lat. 52. 0.

On the taking of Madras by the French in 1746, the presidency of all the English settlements on the Coromandel coast was removed to Fort St David, and continued there till about the year 1752, when it was removed back to Madras. In June 1758, the fort was taken and demolished by the French, and has never been rebuilt since.
