==History==
The head of navigation on the Little Sandy River was first settled in the 1820s. By the time of its establishment by the state legislature in 1850, it was known as "Sandy Hook" for the fishhook-shaped bend in the river at that point.〔
It was chosen as the seat of the newly established Elliott Co. over nearby Newfoundland in 1869, owing to a generous donation of land for public buildings by resident James Hunter. In 1872, the city was incorporated as Martinsburg in honor of Rep. John P. Martin. The priority of another Martinsburg, Kentucky, meant that the post office (est. 1874) had to be named "Sandy Hook". The city resumed the name shortly after〔Rennick, Robert. ''Kentucky Place Names''. University Press of Kentucky (Lexington), 1987.〕 and was reïncorporated as "Sandy Hook" in 1888.〔
