== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Wicomico County has historically leaned Republican in most elections. While percentage-wise, one would consider it a swing county, it has traditionally given just enough to whoever is the Republican candidate.
* Quantico is a Native American name meaning "place of dancing".
* 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.
* Sharptown has the most Buizel residents per capita of any community in the United States.
