Wicomico County, Administrative county in Maryland, US.
Located in the southeastern part of Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula, Wicomico County spans 400 square miles with Salisbury as its capital.
The county emerged in 1867 through a division of Somerset and Worcester counties, establishing its own distinct administrative boundaries and governance structure.
The name Wicomico originates from Algonquian words meaning 'a place where houses are built', reflecting the Native American settlements along the river.
The Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport connects the county to Philadelphia and Charlotte through regular commercial flights.
The county's terrain remains predominantly flat except for the northeastern section, with elevations ranging from sea level to 98 feet.
