== Geografiya ==
Daryo Merilend shtatidagi Kimberlandda Janubiy va Shimoliy Potomak daryolarining qo'shilishidan hosil bo'ladi. Shimoliy daryo G'arbiy Virjiniyada Fairfax Stone deb ataladigan joydan boshlanadi va shimoli-sharqqa qarab oqadi. Janubiy daryo Virjiniya shtatidagi Xaytaun qishlog'idan boshlanadi va shuningdek, shimoli-sharqqa qarab oqadi. Ularning qo'shilishidan keyin Potomak janubi-sharqqa burilib, Atlantika okeanining Chesapik qo'ltig'iga quyiladi. Daryo Virjiniya va Merilend shtatlari chegaralaridan o'tadi. Potomakda Buyuk sharsharadan (Vashingtondan 22 km narida) quyilishigacha kemalar harakatlanadi.

== Tarix ==
"Potomak" nomi daryoning janubiy qirg'og'ida yashovchi hindu qabilalaridan birining Algonkin qabilasidan kelib chiqqan; "Potomak" (yoki inglizlarning birinchi ko'chmanchilari yozganidek "Patawomeke") so'zi "savdo joyi" yoki "o'lpon olib kelinadigan joy" degan ma'noni anglatadi, deb ishoniladi. Biroq hindularning o'zlari daryoni "g'ozlar daryosi" degan ma'noni anglatuvchi "Cohongarooton" deb atashgan. <ref>{{Veb manbasi|url=http://www.loudounhistory.org/history/indian-mounds-loudoun.htm|title=Indian Mounds of Loudoun County|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/65K8PWb9T?url=http://www.loudounhistory.org/history/indian-mounds-loudoun.htm|archivedate=2012-02-09|accessdate=2008-12-13|language=en}}</ref>

Yevropaliklardan birinchi bo'lib 1570 yil atrofida ispanlar bu yerda bo'lganlar. 1608 yilda daryo kapitan Jon Smit tomonidan tasvirlangan va xaritada tushurilgan. Keyin Virjiniyadan savdogarlar bu yerga joylashishni boshladilar. Merilend (1634) tashkil topgandan so'ng, daryo koloniyaning asosiy transport arteriyasiga aylandi.

[[AQShda fuqarolar urushi|Fuqarolar urushi davrida]] daryo Janubiy Konfederatsiyaning shimoliy-sharqiy chegarasi bo'lgan. Janub generali Robert Li Potomakni ikki marta kesib o'tib, shimolga bostirib kirdigan.
