The land that Dinwiddie now occupies was first settled in 1691 as part of a land grant given to Colonel George Mathews. The town was incorporated in 1871 and named for Major General James Dinwiddie, who served as Governor of Virginia from 1768-1774. The economy of Dinwiddie is largely based on its role as a bedroom community for Richmond and its proximity to several major highways (I-95, I-64, I-295). There are also several small businesses located in the town that cater to local residents and tourists alike.

Real estate in Dinwiddie can be classified into three main categories: single family homes, duplexes/triplexes, and apartments/condos.

One common trend seen throughout all types of real estate in Dinwiddie is that prices have been increasing steadily over the past few years.
