POTOMAC, MARYLAND





Potomac is an unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland. The name "Potomac" is from an Algonkian language and is translated as "where something is brought."

In 1716, the Canaze Indian nation built the Tehogee Indian Trail, which is still the route of Potomac's River Road today. Several years later, the first farmers arrived. In 1829, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was completed in an area that had become known as Offutts Crossroads. The cornerstone was laid there and the name was changed to Potomac, in honor of the river that passes by the town.

According to the 2000 census, 20854 (Potomac's ZIP code) is one of the most affluent ZIP codes in the United States based on per capita income. It is considered one of the wealthiest suburbs in the Washington, D.C. area and is by far the wealthiest town in the state of Maryland. Contributing to the demand for housing in Potomac is its proximity to the northwestern boundary of Washington D.C. Many professionals and diplomats live in the Potomac area and commute to Washington to work.

As with most large suburbs, Potomac is divided into various neighborhoods. Potomac Towne The neighborhood within the Potomac Village hub of River and Falls Roads. This is the original neighborhood of Potomac, from which all the subdivisions emerged.

Falconhurst
The Falconhurst subdivision is home to many large and stately homes. Home sales in the Falconhurst area range from $2-8 million. Most of the homes in Falconhurst were built in the 1970s and 1980s.

Potomac Falls
Developed by Washington-area developer W.C. & A.N. Miller in the 1960s, Potomac Falls is one of its most established neighborhoods. Bounded by Falls Road on the east, Great Falls Park on the south and west, and Burbank Drive on the north, the large neighborhood is characterized by almost uniformly traditional-style homes on multi-acre lots.

Avenel
Avenel is a master-planned community developed in the 1980s on the site of a large farm not far from Potomac Village. Its boundaries are Persimmon Tree Road on the north, Country Club Drive on the east, Rock Run Park on the south, and Avenel Farm Drive on the west. The neighborhood is set around the spine of Oaklyn Drive, its main street. It is a golf course community of expensive single-family homes and townhomes built around TPC at Avenel, a private golf club operated by the PGA Tour and home of the Booz Allen Classic.

Bradley Farms
Bradley Farms is one of Potomac's oldest neighborhoods and certainly one of its visible and most exclusive. Bradley Farms consists of many large, 1940s era estates (many set back quite far from the street) which line River Road in its approach into Potomac Village from Potomac; the neighborhood also extends behind River Road and is bounded by Persimmon Tree Road on the south and west.

Palatine
One of the newer neighborhoods in Potomac, Palatine are made up of two acres or larger. Once a forest, Palatine was developed about 11 years ago (to date of 2007). Plots of land were sold, and each owner was responsible for building their own custom homes. Known for its class and ever expanding houses, Palatine continues to prosper today. It extends to over 110 houses, breaking into the rural area.

River Falls
River Falls is just southeast of Potomac Falls next to the Potomac River and separated by Falls Road. Although most of Potomac is in Churchill High School District, River Falls filters into Walt Whitman High School in Potomac. The home lot sizes are not as large as other Potomac neighborhoods, but its community center and pool are the heart of the neighborhood.

Potomac is also home to the 2006-2007 Maryland Blue Ribbon Awarded High School, Winston Churchill High School.
