Local Facts & Community Context for Smith Island, MD
Understanding the local housing stock, population density, and municipal layout of Smith Island (Somerset County) helps independent remediation contractors coordinate discreet arrival and efficient biohazard waste transport:
Smith Island is a census-designated place (CDP) in Somerset County, Maryland, made up of three island villages — Ewell, Rhodes Point and Tylerton — in the Chesapeake Bay at the Maryland–Virginia territorial waters border; the Virginia portion of the island is uninhabited.
Known to its residents as 'The Rock,' Smith Island is Maryland's last inhabited offshore island that cannot be reached by car, lying about ten miles west of Crisfield across Tangier Sound and accessible only by boat.
The 2020 census counted just 202 residents on Smith Island, down from 276 in 2010 — a decline of about 27 percent in a single decade.
Smith Island's population peaked at roughly 800 people in the early 1900s, when its oyster and crab fisheries were at their height.
The island was charted by Captain John Smith in the early 1600s and was settled in the 17th century by British settlers from Cornwall, Wales and Dorset who arrived by way of Virginia.
Smith Islanders speak a distinctive relic dialect that preserves features of colonial English and the West Country speech of the island's first settlers, similar to the better-known brogues of Tangier Island, Virginia, and Ocracoke, North Carolina.
Passenger ferries connect Ewell with Crisfield year-round and with Point Lookout, Maryland, and Reedville, Virginia, in season, and a daily ferry serves Tylerton; with no bridges and few motor vehicles, residents of Ewell and Rhodes Point get around mainly by golf cart and on foot.
The northern part of Smith Island is protected as the Martin National Wildlife Refuge.
Erosion and sea-level rise have cost Smith Island more than 3,300 acres of wetlands over the past 150 years, and a 2008 Maryland Department of Natural Resources study projected the island could erode away entirely by 2100 without intervention; a protective jetty project was completed in 2018.
After Hurricane Sandy struck in 2012, most Smith Island landowners refused the state's offers to buy out their properties, choosing to remain on the island.
