Background
The school was named after the old colonial village of Dutch Neck, which was founded in the 17th century, in the same county.
Dutch Neck Elementary was built in a colonial style, and was established in the 1930s. There is one large, central building but no peripheries to it. It has not been expanded much afterwards, although there are some plans under way to add new sections.
