Coxes Neck Path is one of the oldest roads on Kent Island. The road in front that the railroad crossed was once part of Cox Neck Road before the construction of Route 50-301 in 1952. Cox Neck Road runs south past Baker's Liquors to the end of Turkey Point in the community of Southwind. In 1640, King Charles I granted William Coxe 1,000 acres called Coxes Neck, where Southwind is located. Over time, the route was known by names including Coxes Neck Road and Coxes Creek Road, and as people shortened Coxes to Cox, the names Cox Neck Road and Cox Creek emerged. In 1650, Thomas Ringgold and his two sons purchased Coxes Neck, and it remained in the family for 246 years. Around 1840, the Ringgolds built a farmhouse that appears on an 1866 map showing Cox Neck Road. The path ran north from the Ringgold house in Coxes Neck, passed this area, continued through what are now Castle Marina and Four Seasons, then turned west, crossed Cox Creek, and went southwest on Benton Road along Cloverfields. It then crossed Old Love Point Park and continued south on Old Love Point Road through downtown Stevensville to Broad Creek. The exact date when the road was first formed is unknown, but historical evidence shows it has existed since the early 1800s, and older maps showing houses around Coxes Neck suggest it may be even older.
