North Potomac is a census-designated place and unincorporated area in Montgomery County, Maryland, United States. It has a population of approximately 25,000 and a median household income of nearly $160,000. Nearly half of the eligible residents have a graduate or professional degree. About 55 percent of the population speaks English at home, while nearly 27 percent speaks Asian/Pacific Islander.
The area has an agricultural history, with the original tobacco farms gradually replaced by wheat farms beginning in the 1790s. The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was used by area farmers to ship their grain (or flour made from the grain at the local mills), and two former canal locks are located less than 5 miles (8.0 km) away in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park. Historical sites include the ruins of a mill that operated in the 1800s and churches established in the 1800s by African-American communities. In addition, infrastructure for what was one of the state's leading dairy farms during the 1900s remains in North Potomac.
The area did not get an identity of its own until 1989, when the United States Post Office allowed the use of the North Potomac name. The United States Census Bureau listed a North Potomac in 1970 but not 1980. In 2000, it began recognizing North Potomac as a census designated place. Today, North Potomac enjoys good schools, outdoor recreation facilities, and proximity to workplaces such as the Shady Grove Hospital area and the I-270 Technology Corridor. Washington, D.C. is about 21 miles (34 km) away and accessible by car or public transportation.
History
Montgomery County history started over 300 years ago when European settlers began arriving to the area. The land had been occupied by Native Americans of the Piscataway Confederation.[1] Today's Darnestown Road, which forms the northern border of North Potomac, was a Seneca Indian trail and is one of the oldest roads in Montgomery County.[2] Originally, the land around today's North Potomac was used for growing tobacco and corn. By 1840, much of the county's soil was depleted. Quakers began introducing improved farming practices and agriculture was revitalized. By 1860, farmers became more prosperous growing corn, wheat and oats.[3] A network of roads, mills, and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal made it easier for farmers to get their crops to markets. Dufief Mill Road leads to the DuFief Mill (established 1850), one of the mills that was used by farmers in this part of Montgomery County.[4]
By 1878, today's North Potomac was still farmland. The nearest general stores and post offices were in Hunting Hill, Travilah, and Darnestown. The Hunting Hill Post Office and general store was located on Darnestown Road between Muddy Branch Road and Travilah Road, and it provided wheelwright and blacksmith services.[5] It operated from 1873 until 1929.[5] Darnestown had three country stores, and the Windsor store also served as a Post Office until 1911.[6] Travilah, located closer to the canal, had a general store but no name in 1878. The Travilah Post Office was established in 1883, and the community eventually took that name.[7] Over the next 100 years, the farmland gradually was replaced with housing subdivisions.[8]
In 1970, the United States Census Bureau considered North Potomac an unincorporated place that was part of two county subdivisions.[9] North Potomac had been part of the Darnestown and Travilah areas.[10] In late 1989, the United States Postal Service approved the North Potomac name for a region surrounded by the Montgomery County communities of Darnestown, Travilah, Gaithersburg and Rockville—and the ZIP Code used by the Postal Service for most of North Potomac, 20878, is also used by Gaithersburg.[8] North Potomac is bordered roughly by Maryland Route 28 (Darnestown Road), Travilah Road and Jones Lane, and is about 21 miles (34 km) from Washington, D.C.[11][12] For 1990, North Potomac began being listed by the Census Bureau as a census-designated place, but census records show no data for 1980.[13]
Historic Places
Montgomery County has a long history that began over 300 years ago with most of the area being used for farming. Original crops were mostly tobacco and corn, but later corn, wheat and oats were the crops of choice.[14] The North Potomac area has a few historic places, although some are privately owned. For example, the Maple Spring Barns, which were once part of a 355-acre (144 ha) farm, are privately owned.[15]
DuFief Mill site
The site of the historic DuFief Mill is near the intersection of Turkey Foot Road and the Muddy Branch in Muddy Branch Regional Park.[Note 1] John L. DuFief built a mill complex in the 1850s that included a flour and grist mill, a blacksmith's shop, and a miller's house. A road connected his complex with the Pennyfield Lock on the C&O Canal where he operated a warehouse, barrel house, and wharf. After he established this mill and its access to the canal, more roads were constructed—which enabled him to serve farmers from as far away as Germantown and Damascus in addition to the local growers.[Note 2]
The complex had a pond on the east side of the road with a water duct (head race) that carried water to the mill on the west side of the road.[20] Today, the mill site "contains rare physical evidence of a significant pre–Civil War merchant mill."[21] The site still has the stone millpond dam and wooden footings of the water duct that led to the water wheel.[4] The former miller's house has been altered significantly and is privately owned.[20]
Maple Spring Barns
The privately owned Maple Spring Barns are located at the intersection of Dufief Mill Road and Darnestown Road. The facility was once one of the leading dairy farms in the state of Maryland, and had mechanized milking and above average milk production.[22] The barn was constructed in 1942 for dairy farming, and has 19 bays with four vents visible on the roof. Other infrastructure, built between 1918 and 1942, includes two silos, a milk house, a horse barn, and a wagon house and granary.[15]
The farm was owned by Thomas Moore Garrett, who was a state agricultural leader. Garrett was a charter member of the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association that was established in 1920. He was also a director for the Farm Bureau, Soil Conservation Board, and Southern States Cooperative.[15] The most recent owner purchased the complex in 2016 with the intent of converting it to an educational center.[23]
Pleasant View Historic Site
The Pleasant View Historic Site consists of the Pleasant View Methodist Episcopal Church, Pleasant View Cemetery, and the Quince Orchard Colored School.[24] All structures are located on the south side of Darnestown Road near the Quince Orchard area. The site is 3 acres (1.2 ha) including the cemetery.[25] The cemetery has more than 70 graves, with the oldest being from 1890.[26] Preservation Maryland considers the site to be "monuments to the story of how during segregation African Americans utilized the institutions available to them to forge a new future."[24]
The church's congregation was established around 1868, and the original church was built in 1888.[27] It was part of the Washington Grove circuit of the Washington Negro Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and used by residents of Quince Orchard.[24] In 1914, the structure was torn down and rebuilt. The church was renovated in 1950 with a rear wing, pastor's study, and facilities for a choir.[27]
The Quince Orchard Colored School was established in 1874. It was destroyed by fire in 1901 and replaced by an abandoned school house for whites that was located on the north side of Darnestown Road. The one-room white school house was moved to the south side of the road and is "representative of the crowded and inadequate facilities that were the result of segregation in the late 1800s."[28] In 1940 it served 122 children in seven grades, was expanded a year later by adding two more rooms. After countywide segregation ended, the building became a parish house for the church.[28]
Poplar Grove Baptist Church
The Poplar Grove Baptist Church, located on Jones Lane, "is the sole surviving 19th century Baptist church of an African-American congregation in Montgomery County".[29] The church congregation began in 1883, and used a small log cabin on land originally owned by a member of the DuFief family. It took its name from the numerous poplar trees that line the area streets.[30] The current church was built in 1893, and has a three-part entrance tower similar to that of the Pleasant View Methodist Episcopal Church located on Darnestown Road. The Poplar Grove Baptist Church is close to a tributary of the Muddy Branch, and immersion baptisms are said to have taken place in the tributary during the church's early years.[29] A cemetery behind the church has about 140 graves, with the oldest being from 1904.[31] Since 1998, the congregation has held services in an adjacent new building, while the historic church building is used for auxiliary events.[32]
Geography
As an unincorporated area, North Potomac's boundaries are not officially defined. However, the United States Census Bureau recognized a North Potomac in the 1970 Census, and then as a census-designated place (North Potomac CDP) in every census beginning with 1990.[33] According to the state of Maryland, "The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity."[34] The boundaries of the North Potomac CDP are currently those used by the 2010 Census.[11] North Potomac is located north of the Potomac River in west central Montgomery County. It is surrounded by the Travilah CDP, Darnestown CDP, Gaithersburg, and Rockville.[Note 3] Between the 1990 and 2000 census, North Potomac gained and lost territory. The loss was caused when a portion of the North Potomac territory, plus Potomac territory, was used to create the Travilah census designated place.[33]
According to the United States Census Bureau, North Potomac has a total area of 6.6 square miles (17 km2), virtually all land.[11] A stream called Muddy Branch runs through North Potomac and is a tributary of the Potomac River.[36] The Rich Branch is another stream in North Potomac, and it is a tributary of the Muddy Branch.[37] The United States Geological Survey lists two features in Montgomery County with North Potomac in all or part of their name. The North Potomac Census Designated Place is listed with an elevation of 390 feet (120 m)[Note 4] The Geographic Names Information System uses an ANSI Code for North Potomac of 02389581 and a Place Identifier of 2456875.[Note 5]

The Montgomery County Park System has over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails.[80] Among those trails is the Muddy Branch Greenway Trail, which passes North Potomac's Potomac Horse Center on a path of 9 miles (14 km) between Darnestown Road and Blockhouse Point Conservation Park.[81] The Potomac Horse Center, in North Potomac, is a public facility leased from the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.[82] Muddy Branch Stream Valley Park, which contains Muddy Branch Greenway Trail, has three sections totaling to more than 876 acres (355 ha) located in North Potomac and Travilah.[83]
Construction of a new trail, now known as the Powerline Trail (a.ka. Pepco Trail) began in 2018. This trail will connect North Potomac (Muddy Branch Stream Valley Park) with the South Germantown Recreation Park, which is the home of the Maryland SoccerPlex. This trail is a partnership between Montgomery County Parks, which will build the trail, and Pepco, which owns the land. The trail, which will be 6 miles (9.7 km) long when completed, will be maintained by the Mid-Atlantic Off-Road enthusiasts (a non-profit for bikers) after construction is completed.[84][85]
Other North Potomac Parks:
In addition to parks and trails maintained by the county, many housing divisions have locally maintained playgrounds, parks and short hiking trails. Examples are the Dufief Hiking Trail in the Dufief neighborhood and the unnamed paths and playgrounds in Potomac Crossing.[90][91] Some housing divisions have their own pool in addition to other recreation facilities.[92][93]
More recreational facilities are located close by. A few of the larger places are the Pennyfield Lock, Blockhouse Point Conservation Park, and the Maryland SoccerPlex. The Pennyfield Lock House (Lock #22) is located in the Travilah CDP (south side of North Potomac), and is part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park[94] The Blockhouse Point Conservation Park, 630 acres (250 ha) located in the Darnestown CDP on River Road, has "a diversity of wildlife and grand views of the Potomac River and C&O Canal".[95][96] The Maryland SoccerPlex is located less than 10 miles away and has indoor and outdoor facilities for soccer and other activities.[97]
Wildlife
Montgomery County, including North Potomac, has wild animals such as foxes and white-tailed deer.[98] All counties in Maryland are home to the eastern gray squirrel.[99] The county also has Canada geese that stay year-round.[98] Birds such as the Carolina wren, house finch, American goldfinch, eastern bluebird, can be found at bird feeders.[100] Additional birds found in Montgomery County all year are hawks, owls, woodpeckers, blue jays, crows, the northern cardinal, and others.[101]
Notes
Footnotes
- ^ Kelly discusses the mill's location.[4] The area east of Turkey Foot Road is in the North Potomac CDP, while the area west of the road is in the Darnestown CDP (north of the river) or Travilah CDP (south of the river).[11]
- ^ Kelly discusses the mill complex.[4] The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (a.k.a. C&O Canal) was necessary because the Potomac River was not navigable by ships/barges at Great Falls—"a spectacular series of falls and rapids" along Montgomery County.[16] Construction of the canal, which began in the 1830s and was completed in 1850, "created markets for goods and services" and "lowered the cost of shipping commodities such as flour, wheat, and corn".[17] Using today's roads, the driving distance from the DuFief Mill to C&O Canal Lockhouse 22 (Pennyfield Lock) is about 3 miles (4.8 km).[18] Lock #21 and Swain's Lockhouse are located further east.[19]
- ^ The state of Maryland has a census designated map that shows what surrounds North Potomac.[35]
- ^ From the USGS web site: Feature Name: North Potomac, State: Maryland, County: Montgomery, then click Send Query. The North Potomac Census Designated Place has an ID of 2389581 and an elevation of 390 feet (120 m). It has a latitude of 390544N and a longitude of 0771414W. The feature named North Potomac, different from the North Potomac Census Designated Place, is a populated place and has an elevation of 256 feet (78 m) with a latitude of 390458N and a longitude of 0771554W.[38]
- ^ A summary of Maryland CDPs from 2010 U.S. Census data posted by the state of Maryland shows North Potomac with a GIS ID of 296 and a FID of 295. The State FIPS code is 24 and the Place FIPS is 56875. The ANSI Code for North Potomac is 02389581 and the Place Identifier is 2456875.[35]
- ^ The 1970 U.S. Census lists a North Potomac population for 1970 but is blank for 1960.[42] The 2000 U.S. Census lists a North Potomac population for 1990 and 2000, but is blank for 1980.[13]
- ^ From the Census Bureau: The Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services sector comprises establishments that specialize in performing professional, scientific, and technical activities for others. These activities require a high degree of expertise and training. The establishments in this sector specialize according to expertise and provide these services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: legal advice and representation; accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services; architectural, engineering, and specialized design services; computer services; consulting services; research services; advertising services; photographic services; translation and interpretation services; veterinary services; and other professional, scientific, and technical services. This sector excludes establishments primarily engaged in providing a range of day-to-day office administrative services, such as financial planning, billing and recordkeeping, personnel, and physical distribution and logistics. These establishments are classified in Sector 56, Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services.[50]
- ^ The Health Care and Social Assistance sector comprises establishments providing health care and social assistance for individuals. The sector includes both health care and social assistance because it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between the boundaries of these two activities. The industries in this sector are arranged on a continuum starting with those establishments providing medical care exclusively, continuing with those providing health care and social assistance, and finally finishing with those providing only social assistance. The services provided by establishments in this sector are delivered by trained professionals. All industries in the sector share this commonality of process, namely, labor inputs of health practitioners or social workers with the requisite expertise. Many of the industries in the sector are defined based on the educational degree held by the practitioners included in the industry. Excluded from this sector are aerobic classes in Subsector 713, Amusement, Gambling and Recreation Industries and nonmedical diet and weight reducing centers in Subsector 812, Personal and Laundry Services. Although these can be viewed as health services, these services are not typically delivered by health practitioners.[50]
- ^ The Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services sector comprises establishments performing routine support activities for the day-to-day operations of other organizations. These essential activities are often undertaken in-house by establishments in many sectors of the economy. The establishments in this sector specialize in one or more of these support activities and provide these services to clients in a variety of industries and, in some cases, to households. Activities performed include: office administration, hiring and placing of personnel, document preparation and similar clerical services, solicitation, collection, security and surveillance services, cleaning, and waste disposal services. The administrative and management activities performed by establishments in this sector are typically on a contract or fee basis. These activities may also be performed by establishments that are part of the company or enterprise. However, establishments involved in administering, overseeing, and managing other establishments of the company or enterprise, are classified in Sector 55, Management of Companies and Enterprises. Establishments in Sector 55 normally undertake the strategic and organizational planning and decision making role of the company or enterprise. Government establishments engaged in administering, overseeing, and managing governmental programs are classified in Sector 92, Public Administration.[50]
- ^ Among the shopping centers close to North Potomac but not inside the CDP are Falls Grove Village Center, Key West Plaza, Muddy Branch Square, Downtown Crown, and Washingtonian Center.[53]
- ^ John Lawrence DuFief (sometimes spelled duFief or Dufief) was a community leader in Montgomery County during the 1860s. He owned a mill on the Muddy Branch where it flows by what is now called Turkey Foot Road—close to, but outside of, today's North Potomac. He was also president of the Board of County Commissioners.[21]
- ^ Montgomery County's Ride-On bus route 67 runs from the Universities at Shady Grove (Traville Transit Center) to the Shady Grove Metro station, and has stops along its route through the middle of North Potomac on Travilah Road and Dufief Mill Road.[60] Ride On bus route 66 also runs from the Universities at Shady Grove to the Shady Grove Metro Station, but uses a different route that includes a stop at Shady Grove Hospital.[61] On the other side of North Potomac, Ride On bus route 76 connects the Quince Orchard Library and Quince Orchard High School (Quince Orchard Rd. & MD 28) with the Shady Grove Metro Station using a route down Darnstown Road (MD 28).[62] Ride On bus route 56 connects the library and high school with the Rockville Metro Station and also has a stop at Shady Grove Hospital.[63]
- ^ See Montgomery County Public Schools for Quince Orchard High School address.[65] Since the U.S. Postal Service and the Census Bureau do not have the same definition for North Potomac, one may see Gaithersburg and Rockville addresses for places in the North Potomac CDP.[8] In the case of schools, residents of the North Potomac CDP may attend schools located outside of the North Potomac CDP—such as Wootton High School.[66]
