Farming and industry intertwine in Hurlock
Built around the Delaware Railroad in the early 1890s, Hurlock has always been a major industrial hub in north Dorchester County, reflected by the town motto of “on track … since 1892.” Today, several large-scale industrial farms surround the town, as well as manufacturing and trucking businesses. It’s an appealing spot for buyers seeking rural single-family homes with a secluded, slower pace of life. “It’s a very laid-back rural environment. It’s got one firehouse, two gas stations and a Dollar General,” says Henry Gibbons-Neff, an Eastern Shore native and associate broker with Meredith Fine Properties. “Folks usually head to Cambridge or Easton if they want to shop or get groceries.” Though it offers several locally loved establishments, Hurlock residents can also drive to larger cities like Cambridge for more retail and dining options. Locals can work at industrial farms just minutes away from their homes or take U.S. Route 50 to Salisbury in under an hour.
