The population was 1,263 at the 2010 census.[4] HistoryAccording to a nearby Virginia state highway marker, Onacock was founded in 1680. A courthouse was established some years after, and militia barracks established during the Revolution. Some thirteen months after Cornwallis' October of 1781 surrender at Yorktown, Commodore Zedechiah Whaley sought aid from Onacock during a naval campaign against British barges of war that had been harassing the shores and farms of Chesapeake Bay. On November 28, 1782 he sailed up Onocock Creek and appealed to Lt. Colonel James Cropper, who rounded up 25 local men in support. They boarded Whaley's flagship, Protector, and continued his siege upon the British flotilla. In what became the Battle of Kedges Strait three of four of Whaley's barges turned back under heavy British fire, leaving the Protector alone to press the fight. Vastly outnumbered, ultimately 25 of its 65 men were killed or wounded, 29 captured, and only 11 escaped during a climactic action on November 30. Whaley surrendered - in the last naval action of the Revolution - on the very day the Treaty of Paris seeking to finally end the hostilities between the two nations was drafted.[5] It would be another year and a half yet until the completed treaty was signed, ratified, and exchanged, ultimately becoming effective on May 12, 1784. The highway marker also indicates that the home of Virginia governor Henry A. Wise (1856-60), Onley, is nearby. In the mid-19th century, Onacock was a point along the stagecoach route between Wilmington, Delaware and Eastville, Virginia.[6] The Onancock Historic District, Cokesbury Church, Hopkins and Brother Store, and Kerr Place are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[7] GeographyOnancock is located at {{coord|37|42|38|N|75|44|47|W|type:city}} (37.710578, −75.746307).[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1.0 square miles (2.7 km²), all of it land.
