History of Dandy

One of the most beautiful spots in the Tidewater area of Virginia is the ancestral home of the Goodwin Family.  Goodwin Neck encompasses the present village of Dandy located in York Co, VA, near historical Yorktown.  The view from the neck, which extended into the York River, is absolutely breathtaking.

 

"This area, locally known as Dandy, was part of the land granted to John Chew July 6, 1636, and was sold by his heirs to James Goodwin, a member of the House of Burgesses from Jamestown August 27, 1668.  The area was strategically important both to British General Charles Cornwallis and to Confederate General John B. Magruder, who erected earth redoubts at the heads of several creeks on Goodwin Neck."
