History

Originally called Disharoon's Cross Roads, Fruitland developed at an intersection of roads leading to Princess Anne, the Pocomoke River, and Salisbury. In 1742 the north and east roads became borders of Worcester County. The first house was built in 1772. Later called Forktown after the fork in the road, the town was named Fruitland in 1873 to reflect the agricultural character of the area.
