South Cape May was a borough that existed in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States, from 1894 to 1945. First settled in 1840, it contained a Lucy-type elephant named Light of Asia.
The borough was formed on August 27, 1894, from portions of Lower Township, based on the results of a referendum held six days earlier.["The Story of New Jersey's Civil Boundaries: 1606-1968", John P. Snyder, Bureau of Geology and Topography; Trenton, New Jersey; 1969. p. 115.] ]The borough was badly wrecked by the 1944 Great Atlantic Hurricane, which hit in September of that year. [ [http://www.capemaycity.com/history.htm Cape May History] , accessed February 11, 2007] After the hurricane, the borough was dissolved as of April 30, 1945, and returned to Lower Township.
The remaining land not underwater is part of a bird sanctuary.
