1952 ..  Pocomoke City hosts its first Delmarva Chicken Festival.

Salisbury Times
1963 ..  There's a new kind of telephone called a Touch Tone.

Footnote: It was only a few years earlier that Pocomoke City was transitioned from operator assisted local calls to dial phone service. We were the last exchange in Maryland to get dial telephones.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011.  I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
