== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Accomack County tends to lean Republican in most elections.
* Together, Accomack and Northampton counties make up the Eastern Shore of Virginia, which in turn is part of the Delmarva Peninsula.
* Most of the county's retail is in Onley.
* The Accomack County Airport is located near Melfa.
* Accomack is the largest county in Virginia by total area.
* Accomack and adjacent Northampton County are the two poorest counties in the state.
* Since 1850, Tangier Island's landmass has been reduced by 67%. Under the mid-range sea level rise scenario, much of the remaining landmass is expected to be lost in the next 50 years and the town will likely need to be abandoned.
* Many who live on Tangier speak a distinctive dialect of American English, which scholars have disputed as derived from a 17th-century English lexicon and phonetics. Linguist David Shores has noted that, while it may sound like a British variety of English, the dialect is a creation of its own time and place off the eastern shore of Virginia. The persistence of this dialectal variety is often attributed to the geographic isolation of the population from the mainland.
** The island has also been referred to as one of the last waterman communities.
