Crisfield Wedding

Crisfield is a city in Somerset County, Maryland, United States. The population was 2,723 at the 2000 census.

The Pocomoke and Annemessex Indian tribes of the Algonquin Nation were the first inhabitants of the area we now know as Crisfield. In 1666 a 300 acre (1.2 km) parcel of land was granted to English settler, Benjamin Summers. Soon after Mr. Summers settled there, a fishing village grew up around him, and eventually the town was named, "Somers Cove" in his honor. Crisfield, located at the mouth of the Annemessex River and flanked by the Tangier Sound, soon became a major distribution center for seafood along the East Coast.
