The farming village of Hebron has railroad history
The Eastern Shore town of Hebron sprang up after the construction of the Hebron Train Depot in 1890 and was named after the biblical city by the railroad's builders. Once the trains passed through freely, the area quickly became a hub for poultry and dairy farms, lumber mills and shirt factories. Today, locals still find the rural homes and agricultural work around town appealing. “It’s got a nice small-town feel,” says Colby Phippin, a Hebron native and a Realtor with Whitehead Real Estate Executives. “Lots of people here are in agriculture for large operation sod farms, some people are in the seed or fertilizer industry, as well as chicken farming, since Perdue is a big employer here.”
Hebron has many interesting sites including the historic train depot in the middle of town.
As well as crops, local farmers also raise poultry on many farms throughout Hebron.

Midcentury homes in town, or contemporary homes on large lots farther away
Homes are priced from $130,000 to $600,000, varying by age, square footage and lot size. Buyers can find three-bedroom manufactured homes, midsized Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ramblers within the town of Hebron, where some homes lie across the road from dense cornfields. Larger New Millennium homes and multi-acre parcels are located in the expansive surrounding farmlands. “There isn’t a ton of new construction — most of it's from 10 years ago, if anything,” Phippin says. “Most people live in existing homes and do minor remodels here and there.”

Community parks and the historic Hebron Train Depot
Hebron Lions Park is the community’s main green space, featuring a soccer field and a baseball diamond with bleachers. The smaller Edgewood Park has a playground and an open grass field for a picnic or a game of catch. For history lovers, the Hebron Train Depot still stands today and is maintained by a community nonprofit that often hosts first-come, first-served tours of the depot and the town's past with the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad. With enough donations, the group hopes to fully restore the depot and make it into a museum.
Edgewood Park features swings to accommodate kids both young and old.
Many friendly basketball games happen in the warmer months on the court at Hebron Lions Park.
