Introducing Fairfax
The city of Fairfax is an independent city located within the confines of Fairfax County; however it is independent and therefore not (politically) connected with the county.
It does, unusually enough, still serve as the county seat with a small unincorporated zone populated by the county courthouses and government buildings.
These Fairfax apartments are located amongst some of the best shopping, eating, and entertainment in the DC region.
This metropolitan urban suburb boasts large office buildings and workplaces, as well as shady side streets and quaint historic charm.
Fairfax History
The city of Fairfax was named after Lord Thomas Fairfax of Cameron, who was awarded the land by King Charles.
The area was first officially named the “Town of Fairfax” in 1874, and gained the status of an independent city in 1961 (which is why its current name is the “City of Fairfax”).
The area surrounding our Fairfax apartments has a rich history both before and after the civil war.
You remain close to Old Town Fairfax; a lovely downtown with historical walkways and charming shops.
Fairfax lies very close to the Manassas Battlefield Park where two major Civil War battles took place.
In addition, there are a number of historic plantation homes like Gunston Hall & Sully Plantation converted into small museums.
