Maryland’s Eastern Shore is located on the northern half of the Delmarva Peninsula and is made up of nine counties: Worchester, Wicomico, Kent, Queen Anne, Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Somerset, and Cecil. While these counties constitute more than one third of the state’s land area, their combined population of 420,000 represents only 8% of the population in Maryland. Homes for sale along the open Eastern Shore are always a popular choice for new residents.
