Salisbury's location at the head of Wicomico River was a major factor in growth. At first it was a small colonial outpost of Lord Baltimore's. The river was the only navigable waterway leading out to the Chesapeake Bay for early settlers. It was a virtual wilderness harking back to a Stone Age culture that was awaiting them, with simple trails made by the Native Americans for their simple needs. In 1732, Salisbury became an official port; growing to be second only to Baltimore as the most active seaport in Maryland.
