About Delmar

Sitting right on the Maryland-Delaware border, Delmar is famously known as the little town too big for one state. The Maryland side sits in northern Wicomico County, sharing everyday life with its Delaware twin directly across State Street. Around 3,800 people live on the Maryland side, enjoying a quiet, friendly atmosphere where neighbors know each other and gather for Friday night football games. The town retains its historic railroad roots, with peaceful residential streets, local businesses, and plenty of hometown pride.

Families appreciate the strong local school system, including Delmar Elementary and the unique bi-state middle and high school program. Daily errands are easy to manage in town thanks to neighborhood parks, a public library branch, and beloved local eateries. When you need major shopping centers, regional healthcare, or an easy commute, Salisbury is just ten minutes south along Route 13. Residents get a relaxed, affordable pace of living surrounded by Eastern Shore countryside, with Atlantic beaches under an hour away.
