Have you ever heard of laws from bygone times and wondered “Where did that one come from?” I thought it would be entertaining to highlight some of the laws enacted when Chincoteague was incorporated in 1908. I think most of these seem reasonable.....you tell me.

1. Speed Limit- that any person who shall drive any vehicle 8 miles an hour through a street crossing will be fined no less then $10.00 or no more than $100.00 for each offense.

( that’s pretty expensive for the time)

2. Rubbish- it shall be unlawful to put rubbish of any kind in the street without permission.

3. Games in the Street- it shall be unlawful to play games known as football, baseball, bandy , or to use a sling to throw leaden shot or pebbles or any other missiles, nor to fly kites, throw stones , shells or balls in the street.
If the violator is a minor, the parent shall pay the fine.

4. Bathing-Any person caught bathing in the Chincoteague Channel in the n**e within the limits of the town or be found in a n**e state within 100 yards of said limits between the hours of 4 am and 8 pm such person will be fined no less then &10.00.
( I guess everything is far game after 8pm)

5. Parking- It shall be unlawful for any horse, vehicle or automobile to park on Main St. between Cropper and Mumford.
It is also unlawful to park on Cleveland St. until you pass Mrs. Cassie Jones.
( I get a laugh out of that one, no street address, I guess everyone knew Mrs. Jones)

Illustration is from Howard Pyle. He is considered the father of American illustration. It’s the first known illustration of Pony Penning.
