General Information about Salisbury
Salisbury (pronounced /slzbri/) is the county seat of Wicomico County, Maryland[1]. The population was 23,743 at the 2000 census. It is the principal city of and is included in the Salisbury, Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Salisbury-Ocean Pines, Maryland Combined Statistical Area. The city is the commercial hub of the Delmarva Peninsula and is sometimes called "the Crossroads of Delmarva". Salisbury's sister cities consist of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England and Tartu, Estonia.
Salisbury's location at the head of Wicomico River was a major factor in growth. At first it was a small colonial outpost of Lord Baltimore's. The river was the only navigable waterway leading out to the Chesapeake Bay for early settlers. It was a virtual wilderness harking back to a Stone Age culture that was awaiting them, with simple trails made by the Native Americans for their simple needs. In 1732, Salisbury became an official port; growing to be second only to Baltimore as the most active seaport in Maryland.
