As Mayor of Pocomoke City I would like to bid you a warm welcome
to The Friendliest Town on the Eastern Shore!
We
are a family oriented city of just under 5000 people located on
the coast of Maryland on the Delmarva
Peninsula. Our city rests against one of our greatest attributes,
the banks of the Pocomoke
River which is one of the top scenic rivers in America. Our
town was founded in the early 1700’s and was incorporated
in 1878.
 Pocomoke
is proud of the fact that we are a sub-center for commerce on
the lower shore as we are home to a growing industrial park with
great diversity currently playing host to defense contractors,
aerospace engineering and plastics fabrication. We are also strategically
located very near The
Wallops Island Flight Facility in Wallops Island Virginia.
We
are an ideal community in which to raise a family. Children can
easily walk or ride their bikes from one of our many neighborhoods
to our award winning Blue Ribbon Schools, boasting numerous state
championship sports and fabulous after-school programs. In 2009
we were recognized for the second time as one of only 15 finalists
in the nation-wide All-America Cities competition, a distinction
that is another source of great pride for our city.
 Come
and enjoy one of our many scenic attractions that make up our
downtown area and are putting us well on our way to becoming the
crown jewel of the shore for regional history. Take a stroll along
our ½ mile River Boardwalk, explore our Nature
Trail which begins in Cypress Park, a park complete with pavilions,
restrooms, a children’s playground and a new outdoor amphitheater.
Pay a visit to our Farmer's and Flea Market that is open on Friday
and Saturday mornings. A source of great excitement for us is
the opening of our new riverfront restaurant, a boat accessible
dining facility in the middle of our downtown area. As you take
in the many historic homes that line our city streets you will
no doubt pass our State of the Art Pocomoke
Volunteer Fire Company and our Community Center. Construction
was completed in 2010 and it has already played host to many of
the events and fundraisers that take place annually in Pocomoke.
 Take
in a movie or a show at The Historic MarVa
Theater, capture the very essence of our history with a tour
of The Delmarva
Discovery Center and learn about what makes Pocomoke City
and the surrounding areas so very special. Visit one of our two
museums rich in local flavor, The
Sturgis One Room Schoolhouse and The
Costen House.
We also have many area restaurants that are just waiting to serve
you dinner. Whatever brings you to Pocomoke City, Maryland, we
hope you enjoy your time here and find your own reason for calling
Pocomoke City “a great place to visit and a wonderful place
to live.

A. Morrison, Mayor

Residents
of Pocomoke, This past Friday Dec. 7 the City had one of its main
lift stations on Cedar St and 14th Street go down. Due to the age
of the system the parts to fix the lift station are back ordered
until Dec. 28. Unfortunately we will be bypass pumping for the next
30 days until parts arrive. We apologize for any inconvenience this
is causing.
