In the 1930s and 1940s, Long Neck retained its sleepy character, but the agrarian economy began to see some diversification. Some residents went to sea on tug boats or sailing ships operating out of [[Directory:Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] or [[Directory:New York City, New York|New York City]]. Many smaller vessels carrying potatoes, lumber, and grain began heading out the old Indian River Inlet to bigger markets along the Eastern Seaboard. In fact, the iron used in the Philadelphia Eastern Penitentiary was forged in nearby [[Directory:Millsboro, Delaware|Millsboro]] at the head of the Indian River Bay.

In the 1960s, a [[Directory:Nanticoke, Maryland|Nanticoke]], [[Directory:Maryland|Maryland]] oyster plant owner named Palmer purchased a commercial corner on Long Neck Road to be called Palmer Center. Palmer's daughter, Janie Palmer Miller, opened the Long Neck Dispensary in 1969, the area's first package store. Today the center is home to 13 different businesses.
