Pocomoke Town?

 WHERE WAS POCOMOKE TOWN?

As early as 1670 a small hamlet growing up along the Pocomoke River was first known as Pocomoke Town but it wasn't present day Pocomoke City.

It's mentioned in "A page from 1916's Maryland's Colonial Eastern Shore" Saturday here at The Pocomoke Public Eye.

Pocomoke Town is what is now Rehoboth (original spelling). It is home to the Coventry Church Ruins.
