Well known local author Larry Chowning relates the history of Deltaville, a small town strategically located between two major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Deltaville has been center stage to many events that have shaped the nation, from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars through the early 20th century as an important place for local industries, including wooden boat building, freighting, oystering, crabbing and fishing and now a locale as a waterfront resort.
