Established in the late 19th century, the Pomonkey Commercial Historic District has functioned as a commercial, educational, social, and religious center in the community for over 100 years. The Ottery Group, a consultant working with the Charles County Department of Planning and Growth Management, has completed a study of the Pomonkey Commercial Historic District located near Bryans Road, Maryland. The Ottery Group’s research involved interviews with several community members, fieldwork, and archival searches. Their research resulted in a Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties historic district submission.
