Sandy is a market town and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England. The A1 road bypasses the town to the west, with the East Coast Main Line running to the east. The area surrounding the town is dominated by a range of low hills known as the Sand Hills with the River Ivel running through the town.
An archaeological dig in May 2006 revealed that the area may have been settled earlier than 250 BC. However, Sandy was a Roman settlement and was probably an important trading centre and staging post in the Roman era. Sandy is referred to in the Domesday Book, as Sandeia, a derivation from the Old English Sandieg, meaning a sand-island. In 1086 Sandy was listed in the Domesday Book as being held by Eudo Fitzhubert, who is likely to have been the tenant.
In addition there were also two mills listed, and both of these would have been water-powered. There are still references to one of them in the road name Mill Lane which runs along the River Ivel. However the mill has since been replaced by housing. Sandy was part of Biggleswade Rural District between 1894 and 1927, and was then governed as Sandy Urban District between 1927 and 1974.
