About Williston
Williston is a tiny Choptank River community in Caroline County on Maryland's Eastern Shore, originally known as Potter's Landing after early settler Zabdiel Potter. In the 19th century it was one of the county's leading shipping ports, exporting grain on steamboats that stopped twice daily. The village's shipping-magnate mansions, like the 1864 Italianate Memory Lane, still line its streets.
