Dickinsons Corner is an unincorporated community in King George County, Virginia.[1] The community is centered on the intersection of Dickinsons Corner Dr and Stoney Knoll Rd. Dickinsons Corner is named after Vinton Arlington Dickerson Sr. (1840-1906) who lived at the intersection between 1879 and 1906. During Vinton Dickerson's lifetime and after, the family name was spelled variantly as "Dickerson" and "Dickinson," stabilizing to just "Dickinson" by 1940.[2] The name of Dickinsons Corner has changed in tandem with the family name. It was originally called "Dickerson's Fork" (1903),[3] then "Dickersons Corner" (1930),[4] and finally "Dickinsons Corner" (1940),[5] the name that's been preserved until today. Vinton Dickerson was a deacon and trustee of Round Hill Baptist Church, and according to his obituary, "a well-known citizen of King George County."[6]
