Cavenagh ’s boundaries were created on 31 August 2000 for the “local established name” which is derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Cavenagh and which align with those of the hundred.[1][2] The locality includes the site of the now-ceased Government Town of Thornton which was gazetted on 1 December 1881 and which “ceased to exist” on 23 May 1963.[8][9]

Land use within the locality is ’primary production’ and is concerned with “agricultural production and the grazing of stock on relatively large holdings.”[10][11]

Cavenagh is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Stuart and the local government area of the District Council of Peterborough.[6][1][5]
