Matthew Flinders first sighted the Island in 1802 and named it after George Spencer, 2nd Earl Spencer, also known as Viscount Althorp on Northamptonshire.
Whalers and sealers were known to use the island.
As the waters were treacherous a lighthouse was built and commenced operations in 1879. It was manned until 1991 when it was automated.
The buildings and structures are now heritage listed and the island became a conservation park in 1967
