Worcester County, Administrative county in Maryland, US
Worcester County extends along the entire Maryland coastline, featuring ocean beaches, bays, and barrier islands with diverse natural environments.
The county, established in 1742 through division of Somerset County, received its name from Mary Arundell, wife of Sir John Somerset.
The region maintains strong ties to agriculture and maritime activities, with regular festivals celebrating local harvests and seafood throughout the seasons.
The county seat, Snow Hill, centralizes government services and administrative offices for residents across seven electoral districts.
The territory includes both Assateague Island, with its population of wild horses, and Maryland's only oceanfront access.
