Choptank
Inscription
Choptank Before 1679 Indians had a settlement here. Present village stands on parts of tracts once known as Paradise, Belmont, Huntington and Gore. Community was "Leonard's Wharf" c. 1855 and "Medford's Wharf" later. In 1883 Choptank Post Office was established. Named for both the Indian tribe and the river, shipping and industry spurred growth during the 1880's.
