Flying under the radar for a number of years has been the potential space-based technology industry coming to Pocomoke City in concert with the launch capabilities of Wallops Island - the Mid-Atlantic Institute for Space and Technology(MIST). The MIST mission is to develop technology, create opportunities in higher education and develop a national industrial base on the Eastern Shore, in support of that joint strategic objective.

| Settled in the 1600s on the banks of the Pocomoke River, the town has been called by many names through out the centuries, beginning with Stevens Ferry, Warehouse Landing, and Newtowne. The name of Pocomoke City was adopted in 1878, at which time Dr. Issac Costen was elected to serve as its first mayor. Shipbuilding was the largest enterprise from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Tull Shipyards, on the banks of the river near downtown, built some 200 vessels from the luxury oceangoing schooners to steamships. |
