Did you know?

Millsboro's origin, like that of many towns, is an accident of geography. It is situated at the first point on the Indian River, as one proceeds up the river from its mouth, narrow enough to allow for the construction of an earthen dam and bridge with the technology available in the Late 18th Century. Thus the town generally sets the date for its establishment as 1792, the year Elisha Dickerson dammed up the headwaters of the Indian River at the point known as Rock Hole ( because of the annual spawning of rockfish there). In fact, there had been a thriving rural farming community in existence in the area for more than a century by that date. Most early white residents were second or third generation residents of the Maryland and Virginia Eastern Shore and when they arrived in the area they called "Head of Indian River" the river served as the boundary between the Colony of Maryland and William Penn's "Three Lower Counties Upon Delaware."

The area had had a much earlier Indian presence. As English settlement pressures in the area now known as Worcester County, the Indians who had originally been known as Assateagues and who had lived in the coastal area of Worcester began moving gradually northwest during the middle and late 1600s, stopping first along Assawoman Bay and then near the Head of Indian River. Once there they became known as "Indian River Indians" and it is probable that the river was named for them. In 1711 the Maryland Colonial Assembly established a reservation for them on the southwestern site of the river, encompassing much of what is now the southwestern side of Millsboro. Over the years this "Indian Land" was gradually purchased by members of the Burton family and together with their other lands served as a major plantation. Their home farm stood just west of U.S. 113 near present-day Hickory Hill Road and the farm road which ran from this farm to their landing on Indian River became in later years the public road we known as "Old Landing road." it is probable that surviving elements of the Indian community joined with other Indian groups such as the Nanticokes to form the original Indian River Hundred Nanticoke community.
