The Choptank (or Ababco[2]) were an Algonquian-speaking Native American people that historically lived on the Eastern Shore of Maryland on the Delmarva Peninsula. They occupied an area along the lower Choptank River basin,[3] which included parts of present-day Talbot, Dorchester and Caroline counties.[4] They spoke Nanticoke, an Eastern Algonquian language closely related to Delaware.[5][6] The Choptank were the only Indians on the Eastern Shore to be granted a reservation in fee simple by the English colonial government.[7]
