 Snow Hill is enjoying a renaissance. Restored buildings house shops and cafes like The Cannery pictured here.

Chartered in 1686, this small settlement grew and prospered as a farming and business community with the Pocomoke River playing a key role. Snow Hill became the county seat in 1742, when the county was formed. It has remained a trading, commercial and governmental hub of a rich agricultural area.
A disastrous fire destroyed the original downtown in 1893 but, fortunately, many of the historic homes and public buildings remain. Its appearance of quiet elegance and tree-lined streets contrast with the bustle of county business. The Pocomoke River attracts boaters, canoers, kayakers, fishermen, birdwatchers--and is a beautiful setting for concerts at the pavilion.
The major industrial employers in Snow Hill are Aluglass Packaging and Paul Jones Lumber.
