Pomonkey is an unincorporated community located in Charles County, Maryland at the crossing of Livingston Road and Pomfret Road, one mile (1.6 km) from Bryans Road.[1][2][3][4]
Pomonkey is named for the Pamunkey tribeofNative Americans that lived in the area. Dating from the early 19th century, the village of Bumpy Oak was renamed to Pomonkey when it was designated a postal stop.[5] The former Pomonkey High School was one of two black segregated high schools in Charles County until the 1960s, and has a proud alumni association.[6] From 1946 to 1970 the "Pomonkey Spoon Factory" manufactured wooden tools and small items.[7][not specific enough to verify] For several years, Maryland Airport has planned a 1,300 ft (400 m) expansion, including an energetics (explosives) technical center and business park employing over 3,000 people, but the plans are currently delayed by environmental concerns related to stormwater discharge into Mattawoman Creek.[8][not specific enough to verify] The Naval Research Laboratory has its Free Space Antenna Range on Bumpy Oak Road.[citation needed]
