Potomac is a census-designated place and an unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. The town is named after its local river, the Potomac River. The area is known for its very affluent and highly-educated residents. CNNMoney.com placed Potomac 7th on its list top-earning American towns for 2008, one place ahead of neighboring McLean, VA.
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.

The geographical focal point of Potomac is Potomac Village, a small cluster of upscale shops and businesses at the intersection of Maryland State Highway 189 (Falls Road, which connects the Great Falls of the Potomac River in the south to Rockville in the north) and Maryland State Highway 190 (River Road, which runs from western Montgomery County into Washington, D.C.). Saint Francis Episcopal Church, two gas stations (Exxon and BP), and two grocery stores (Safeway and Giant) serve Potomac Village.
