[1] It is about 4 km NE of the nearest town (and railway station), Southminster, on the slightly higher ground to the north of Dengie Marshes.

The place-name "Dengie" is first attested in a manuscript of between 709 and 745, where it appears as Deningei.

Dengie Flats, offshore, was used as a bombing and strafing range by the RAF and USAAF during the Second World War, and also attracted many crash-landing aircraft bound to or from the nearby RAF Bradwell Bay airfield.

Between 1942 and 1945 Dengie was also the site of a 10-cm[clarification needed] Coast Defence radar station used to warn of enemy ships and low-flying aircraft and doodlebugs.
