===Pre-history===
Archeological evidence points to human habitation on the Delmarva Peninsula as early as the [[Pleistocene Era]], about 10,000 years ago. Most of the land north of Delaware was covered in ice, and the footprint of the [[Chesapeake Bay]] had not yet been established. The Nanticoke Indian Tribe has had a significant impact on the Long Neck area, and they first encountered Europeans along the Kuskarawaok River (later named "Nanticoke" River), in the western part of the county. Heading up this European expedition was none other than Captain [[John Smith]], searching for the fabled [[Northwest Passage]]. Smith's vessel was greeting with airborne arrows, so Smith anchored midstream out of reach of the arrows, until he could convince the Nanticoke of his peaceful intentions and head upstream. Other tribes in the area included the Conoy, Piscataway, Lenape, Powhaten, Susquehannock, and Shawnee.
