Selbyville and the Poultry Corridor at the Maryland Line
Selbyville is a town of about 2,400 in southern Sussex County, directly on the Delaware-Maryland border. The town was formally incorporated in 1831 and grew on the strength of the timber, produce, and later the poultry industries that have defined the lower Delmarva Peninsula. Cecile Steele's 1923 experiment in the nearby town of Ocean View, in which she raised 500 chicks that were intended to be only 50, is widely credited with launching the modern broiler industry, and Selbyville sits in the middle of the belt of poultry operations that followed.
The Nutter D. Marvel Carriage Museum on Main Street preserves a collection of horse-drawn vehicles and agricultural implements that document the era before mechanization transformed the peninsula. The Selbyville Old Timer's Day, held annually since the 1970s, turns the downtown into a street fair with a parade, vintage vehicle displays, and local food vendors.
The town is a short drive from both Fenwick Island, Delaware's southernmost beach resort, and Ocean City, Maryland, across the state line. The state line itself is marked by a pair of stones placed during the resurvey of the Mason-Dixon Line in the 1760s, one of which sits just south of Selbyville along the old road between the two states.
