About Fairfax, Virginia
Fairfax is an independent city of 24,146 people, 14 miles west of Washington, D.C., and the seat of Fairfax County. The city and the county are both named for the Scottish nobleman Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, whose Northern Neck Proprietary covered more than five million acres. The county court first met near present-day Tysons in 1742 and then moved to Alexandria in 1752.
In 1790 Virginia gave up the Alexandria site for the new national capital, so the General Assembly ordered a courthouse in the middle of the county. It went up at a crossroads on land given by town founder Richard Ratcliffe, and the court first met there on April 21, 1800. The legislature created the town of Providence around it in 1805. The town was incorporated as Fairfax in 1874, and a court order made it a city in 1961, separate from the county but still its seat.
“Without losing a man or firing a shot, Mosby and his Rangers rode into and out of the garrisoned village at Fairfax Court House and captured Union Brig. General Stoughton in his bed, as well as two captains, thirty enlisted men, and fifty-eight horses.”
- Civil War at the courthouseOn June 1, 1861, a Union scouting party clashed with local militia at Fairfax Court House in the first land battle of the Civil War. Neither side won, but John Quincy Marr fell on the courthouse grounds, the first Confederate officer casualty in battle. The courthouse changed hands again and again. On June 27, 1863, Union troops lost a second fight here, and the delay it cost cavalry chief Jeb Stuart hurt Robert E. Lee at Gettysburg days later.
- A schoolhouse from 1873Fairfax Public School cost $2,750 to build in 1873 and is the oldest two-story building in the city. After its years as an elementary school it held special education, adult education and police academy training, and on July 4, 1992, it opened as the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center.
- A town hall given in 1902Joseph Edward Willard built the town hall in 1900 and gave it to the town two years later. The Old Town Hall now holds the Huddleston Library and the Fairfax Art League. In 1904 a trolley line linked Fairfax to Washington.
- 500 vendors every OctoberOn the second Saturday in October, Old Town Fairfax holds a Fall Festival where more than 500 vendors sell arts, crafts and food to crowds of 35,000 to 45,000. The city's Independence Day parade and fireworks are the largest hometown celebration in the Washington region.
