The name Mouille Point originates from the protective mole built to shelter ships, and provide safe anchorage long before the Table Bay Harbour breakwater existed. Construction began in 1743, with wagonloads of stone dumped into the sea, but strong waves and currents constantly broke down the barrier, and in 1746 the project was abandoned. The Dutch word for mole was moeilje, but the spelling was later corrupted by the French, who – after their arrival in the Cape in 1791 – upgraded the Dutch defences nearby. They referred to the site as the Mouille Battery, and the entire coastal strip eventually took on the name.
