The cape was named ''Smoky Cape'' by Captain Cook when he passed it on 13 May 1770, writing of "a point or headland, on which were fires that Caused a great Quantity of smook, which occasioned my giving it the name of Smooky Cape".〔Parkin, Ray, ''H. M. Bark Endeavour'', Miegunyah Press, second edition 2003, ISBN 0-522-85093-6, page 227.〕 ''Smook'' was his usual spelling of ''smoke'', the spelling for the cape now follows the modern spelling. The hills there were an important meeting place for aboriginal people from various surrounding areas, it's possible Cook saw fires from such a gathering.〔Neil, Marie H.. (1972) ''Valley of the Macleay''. ISBN 0-85587-037-0. chapters 2 and 3〕
A lighthouse was proposed for the cape in 1886 and completed in 1891. Known as the Smoky Cape Lighthouse it was built from concrete and local granite aggregate in an octagonal shape at the highest point on the cape.
