| Settled in the 1600s on the banks of the Pocomoke River, the town was originally known as Steven's Ferry. During the late 1800s and early 1900s shipbuilding was the largest enterprise and furs, whiskey and tobacco found their way from Pocomoke to ports in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.
Today, it is the industrial center of Worcester County. A 98-acre fully serviced industrial park is ready for immediate construction of new industrial buildings. Current occupants include Mid-Atlantic Foods, Beretta, USA, and AquaMar, Plastic Injection Command, Nutech Molding and Bel-Art Products. But the Pocomoke River continues to be the centerpiece. Its surrounding wetlands are known as a sanctuary for birds and waterfowl; more than 127 species of birds have been sighted in its swampy reaches, including the bald eagle. The dark, tea-colored waters of the Pocomoke are home to perch, gar, catfish, pickerel, herring and large mouth bass--a fisherman's delight. We have a nature & exercise trail along the river, boating, year-round golfing and bicycling along the Viewtrail 100 bike path through Worcester County. The Beach to Bay Indian Trail, an automobile tour of the Lower Shore, highlights our heritage of the region. Boaters can gain easy access to the river is easy via the Laurel Street Boat ramp, and Winter Quarters boat ramp. Birdwatchers will be glad to know about the Pocomoke Cypress Swamp on Hickory Point Road. A bird lover's paradise and well known bald eagle roost. Due to a great increase in the population of bald eagles in the Chesapeake Bay area, these majestic birds sometimes congregate here in flocks of up to fifty. Pocomoke has a public golf course. Winter Quarters is nestled on the banks of the Pocmooke River. This municipally-owned course features a pro shop with club rentals and snack shop. It's open year round!
