Pocomoke City is Ground Zero for
Space Technology Firms
.
Flying under the radar for a number of
years has been the potential
space-based technology industry
coming to Pocomoke City in concert
with the launch capabilities of Wallops
Island - the Mid-Atlantic Institute for
Space and Technology(MIST). The
MIST mission is to develop technology,
create opportunities in higher
education and develop a national
industrial base on the Eastern Shore,
in support of that joint strategic
objective.

Settled in the 1600s on the banks of
the Pocomoke River, the town has
been called by many names through
out the centuries, beginning with
Stevens Ferry, Warehouse Landing,
and Newtowne. The name of
Pocomoke City was adopted in 1878,
at which time Dr. Issac Costen was
elected to serve as its first mayor.

Shipbuilding was the largest
enterprise from the late 1800s through
the early 1900s. Tull Shipyards, on the
banks of the river near downtown, built
some 200 vessels from the luxury
oceangoing schooners to steamships.
