Selbyville was founded in 1778 and incorporated in 1902. It was originally known as Sandy Branch, due to its location on a branch of that name emanating in the Cypress Swamp at the head of the St. Martin's River. A grist mill and saw mill opened there in the late 18th century. In 1842, Sampson Selby began marking packages for delivery to his country store, Selby-Ville. By 1918, Selbyville was the major supplier of strawberries for the east coast, an industry that remained strong until the 1930s.Today, one of its main employers is Mountaire Farms, a poultry company with a processing plant on Hosier Street. The town is also home of the Mumford Sheet Metal Works, which held the world record for the largest frying pan in 1950.
