== History ==
According to Whitelaw, prior to 1693 the Accomack County courthouse shifted from Onancock to the tavern of John Cole at Matomkin. This tavern site is now located under the Parks and Recreation Department offices, the Suntrust Bank and the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission offices. In 1693, the General Assembly ordered the court moved permanently to the Matomkin site. In 1786, the Town of Drummond was established. In 1787, the General Assembly further ordered that the Clerk's Office be moved to Drummond. The town became known as Drummondtown, and in 1893 the Post Office changed the name of the town to Accomac, spelling it without the final "k" used by the county. Even today, a road into town is called Drummondtown Road, and locals still occasionally refer to Accomac as Drummondtown.
The name ''Accomac'' comes from an Indian word meaning "on the other side".
