About Horntown

Tucked away near the top of Virginia's Eastern Shore, Horntown is a quiet, rural community in Accomack County with fewer than a thousand residents. It got its start in the 1800s as a stagecoach stop connecting travelers and local farmers to nearby coastal landings. Today, the area offers a relaxed, slow-paced lifestyle surrounded by scenic marshes and farmland. You are just a short drive from the Maryland state line, Chincoteague Island, and Wallops Flight Facility, making it a great spot for anyone looking for peaceful coastal country living at an easygoing pace.
