about Fairfax

Fairfax is an independent city located within the confines of Fairfax County in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This city is a part of the Washington-Baltimore Metropolitan Area.

The area it encompasses was settled in the early 1700s by farmers from Virginia's tidewater region. The Fairfax county courthouse was established at the corner of Old Little River Turnpike (now Main Street) and Ox Road. The small town in the surrounding area was then known as Earp's Corner and in 1805, by an act of the Virginia legislature, named the Town of Providence. People continued to informally refer to it as "Fairfax Court House". The town was officially renamed the Town of Fairfax in 1874. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 21,498. It is the county seat of Fairfax County.
