Accomac, County seat in Eastern Shore, Virginia, United States
Accomac extends across a section of the Delmarva Peninsula, with colonial buildings and courthouses positioned between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
The town originated as one of Virginia's eight original shires in 1634, serving as a governmental center after the division of the Eastern Shore in 1663.
The architectural landscape of Accomac includes structures from multiple periods, featuring colonial, Victorian, and early twentieth-century building designs throughout the town.
The town connects to surrounding communities through Virginia Route 13 and STAR Transit services, offering access to both Accomack and Northampton counties.
The name Accomac stems from Native American terminology meaning 'on the other side,' officially recognized by the United States Post Office in 1893.
