==Municipal status== References to the municipality's status as a city or town varies according to sources. The [[United States Census Bureau|Census Bureau]] accounts Pocomoke City a city,<ref name="GR2">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|df=mdy-all|access-date=2008-01-31|title=U.S. Census website|archive-date=December 27, 1996|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19961227012639/http://www.census.gov/|url-status=live}}</ref> while official state documents differ. According to the Maryland State Archives, many more official documents refer to the "Town of Pocomoke City" than to the "City of Pocomoke City." The most recent references to the "Town" are from 1963, however, while the most recent references to the "City", which come from its Charter, are from 1990.<ref>[http://query.mdarchives.state.md.us/search?site=aom_coll&sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&client=mdarchives_FE&proxystylesheet=mdarchives_FE&filter=0&sort=score&config=aom&q=%22town+of+pocomoke+city%22&x=23&y=16 Search results for "Town of Pocomoke City"], Maryland Archives.
