Sandstaden hette först Sandstorp, bägge namnen härledda från den närbelägna vackra sandstranden.
Platsen uppodlades redan 1736. Många torpare har passerat och haft sin gärning på platsen bland annat
”utfattige” fänriken Magnus Georg Stenfelt.
I mitten på 1860-talet övertog Andreas Danielsson torpet. Andreas var mycket anlitad för att ”öppna åder”,
vilket på den tiden ansågs bota de flesta sjukdomar.
1905 brann stugan på grund av ovarsamhet med elden vid linberedning och ersattes med stugan på Viken, som då stod öde.
Sandstaden was first called Sandtorp, both names derived from the nearby beautiful sandy beach.
The place was cultivated already 1736, many crofters have passed and had their life on the croft including the
"destitute" Second Lieutenant Magnus Georg Stenfelt.
In the mid-1860s Andreas Danielsson lived at the croft. Andrew was very sought to "open vein",
which at that time was to cure most diseases.
1905 burned the cottage because of carelessness with fire in flax preparation
and was replaced with the cottage from Viken, which at this time was deserted.
