About Salisbury

Salisbury is the largest city on Maryland's Eastern Shore and the county seat of Wicomico County. Its location at the head of the Wicomico River was a major reason the city grew, giving it a natural connection to trade, transportation, and regional commerce. Salisbury University adds a college-town presence, including Division III Salisbury Seagulls athletics, while the city also serves as a commercial and medical hub for surrounding Shore communities. It feels like the practical urban center of a largely rural and coastal region.
