History

The city derives its name from Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who was awarded 5,000,000 acres (20,000 km 2 ) of land in northern Virginia by King Charles.

[108] The area that the city now encompasses was settled in the early 18th century by farmers from Virginia's Tidewater region.

[80] The town of "Providence" was established on the site by an act of the state legislature in 1805.

[99]

The scene of the first land battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Fairfax Court House took place here on June 1, 1861 after a Union scouting party clashed with the local militia with neither side gaining advantage.

A second battle took place here two years later on June 27, 1863 where Union troops were defeated.

This battle delayed the movements of Confederate cavalry chief Jeb Stuart with disastrous consequences for Lee at Gettysburg a few days later.

Fairfax was officially renamed the "Town of Fairfax" in 1859.

[99] It was incorporated as a town 1874.

[99] It was incorporated as a city in 1961 by court order.

[99] Under Virginia law the city was separated from Fairfax County yet remains the county seat.

[31] In 1904 a trolley line connected Fairfax with Washington, D.C. [56]

Important buildings

The former Fairfax County Courthouse is the oldest and most historic building in Fairfax.

The first Fairfax courthouse was established in 1742 near present-day Tyson's Corner, and is the namesake for Old Courthouse Road.

[112] It intersects with Gallows Road, which today is a major commuter route, but at the time was the road where condemned prisoners were led to the gallows at the old courthouse.

[116] In 1752, the courthouse was moved to Alexandria, which offered to build the new courthouse at their own expense.

The reason the courthouse was moved from the Tyson's Corner location was because of "Indian hostilities", as noted on the stone marker at the northwest corner of Gallows Road and Route 123.

The courthouse operated there until 1790, when Virginia ceded the land where the courthouse was located for the creation of Washington, DC.

The General Assembly specified that the new courthouse should be located in the center of the county, and was established at the corner of what was Old Little River Turnpike and is now Main Street and what was Ox Road and is now Chain Bridge Road on land donated by town founder Richard Ratcliffe.

[76] The courthouse changed hands repeatedly during the Civil War, and the first officer casualty, John Quincy Marr, occurred on the grounds.

[118] The first meeting of the Fairfax Court was held April 21, 1800.

: 45

The oldest two-story building in the city, built in 1873, the Fairfax Public School for $2,750.

[92] In addition to elementary school use the building has also housed special education, adult education, and police academy training.

[14] : 144 On July 4, 1992 the building became the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center.

: 156–157 Joseph Edward Willard built the town hall building in 1900 then gifted it to the then town in 1902.

[53] The Old Town Hall now houses the Huddleston Library and the Fairfax Art League.

According to the magazine, "These factors are increasingly important in a recession.

When businesses and jobs retract, as they have nationwide, municipalities with strong environments for start-ups, and those that offer attractive amenities, are better suited to recover from economic downtimes, as there are more business activity filling the void."
