How did Blackpool get its name?
Blackpool is believed to get its name from a historic drainage channel (possibly Spen Dyke) that ran over a peat bog, discharging discoloured water into the Irish Sea, which formed a black pool (on the other side of the sea, Dublin is derived from the Irish for "black pool"). Another explanation is that the local dialect for stream was "pul" or "poole", hence "Black poole".
Is there a river in Blackpool?
Not of note no. There are a couple of small dykes leading into the sea from the land side of town (including Spen dyke, the peaty discolouration of which led to the name "black pool". The closest substantial river is the Wyre, which runs from the Bowland hills through the Fylde plain, before emptying into the Irish sea at Fleetwood.
