== Fun facts ==
* In Presidential elections, Somerset is a somewhat erratically-behaving swing county: for example it was one of only a handful of Antebellum Southern counties to switch from McCain to Obama in 2012 but it swung strongly to Donald Trump in 2016.
* Percentage-wise, Somerset County has the highest black population in the state outside of Prince George's.
* West Pocomoke is mostly an extension of Pocomoke City.
* Like a lot of the Eastern Shore, during the 1970s, P-funk, J-funk and Southern rock were surprisingly much more popular here compared to the rest of the state.
* Just east of Dames Quarter is Deal Island State WMA.
* Although along the Chesapeake Bay, the county isn't really a resort/vacation area.
