Greenbackville and neighboring Franklin City, Virginia grew as a result of the railroad line laid in the late 19th century to transport oysters and other shellfish from Chincoteague to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York City. However, during the course of the 20th century the Depression, the construction of the Chincoteague Causeway, and the nor'easter of 1962 all helped to erode Greenbackville's economic base.〔(Reprint of article from Norfolk ''Virginian-Pilot'' of January 6, 2008. ) Retrieved April 8, 2008.〕
