The Tidewater region of Virginia and parts of Maryland got its name from the area's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its unique topography. The term "tidewater" refers to the areas where tidal waters from rivers and the ocean influence the landscape, resulting in a mix of fresh and saltwater. This region features low-lying land and waterways, which were historically significant for trade and transportation. The name reflects both the geographic characteristics and the importance of tides in the area's ecology and economy.
