Nassau, like much of central Delmarva, is part of the Salisbury, Maryland-Delaware Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Delaware Coast Line Railway passed through Nassau on its way to its customer in Lewes, SPI Pharma, and maintained a run-around track in Nassau to facilitate the moves to SPI Pharma, the locomotive using the run-around to then continue pushing the consist of tankcars and/or covered hoppers over the trackage between Nassau and Lewes to the end-of-track for the Lewes Branch at SPI Pharma, just outside the main entrance to Cape Henlopen State Park. The last train run was in 2017. The ROW is now a bike and pedestrian trail.
