Massey, MD Weather Forecast and Current Conditions (21650)

Massey is an unincorporated community in Kent County, Maryland, United States. Massey is located at the intersection of Maryland routes 299, 313 and 330, southeast of Galena.

The town was originally known as Massey's Crossroads and became a railroad junction in 1870 when the Delaware Railroad built a branch to the area from Townsend, Delaware on it's mainline. The Kent County Railroad connected to the branch in April of 1870, eventually extending the line to Chestertown, Maryland, and the Queen Anne's and Kent County Railroad reached it by a separate line in June of that year and eventually extended its line to Centreville, Maryland. It was to be one end of the planned Elkton and Massey's Crossroads Railroad too, making it a key line on the "Eastern Shore Railroad" - Maryland's attempt to keep Eastern Shore railroad traffic in Maryland and make Baltimore more competitive with Philadelphia - but that line was never built. As a result the town became known as Massey's Station. Later that was shortened to just Massey's and finally Massey.

The town was named for the Massey family which had lived in the area since Benjamin Thomas Massey, who served in the Maryland House of Deligates 1813-1823, moved there in 1796.
