The area is home to the estate of Enoch Selby who lived on the "Chapel of Ease" founded in 1750.[1]
The Ivory post office opened for the community on the 4th of July 1886. The post office was operated by postmanster William V. Sheppard until 1918.[2][3]
Sections of Ivory road remain, but most have been overlapped by Route 32. The path through town is now a segment of the Maryland Broadband Network awaiting lease.[4]
