A Brief History of Berlin, Maryland

The village of Berlin began in the 1790s around the original 300 acre 1677 land grant that became Burley Plantation. The town's Main Street was originally part of the path connecting the Assateague Indians with the neighboring Pocomoke tribe. In colonial times the path became the Philadelphia Post Road, the main travel route up the shore to the centers of commerce to the north and west.

It is believed that the name Berlin was derived from a contraction of "Burleigh Inn," a tavern at the crossroads of the Philadelphia Post and Sinepuxent Roads. In the early 1900s Berlin's bustling commercial and tourist business supported more hotels than neighboring Ocean City.

Today the downtown commercial and residential area is a locally-designated historic district. Berlin offers the true pleasures of small town living; within a three block radius you can visit the bank, post office, pharmacy or hardware store, browse in the antique shops and art gallery and enjoy a fine meal.
