In Virginia's Fairfax County, Falls Church and its surrounding neighbors have a history that stretches back 300 years to early American colonial days. The first settlers came to Fairfax County in the late 17th century. They established a small community around the intersection of two ancient Indian trails that are now historic Virginia roadways, the Leesburg Pike and Lee Highway. At the turn of the century, the town experienced a population boom. The number of citizens exceeded 1,100, and by 1910, Falls Church was the largest town in Fairfax county. By 1948, a portion of Falls Church had obtained independent city status. The more than 150,000 residents that call this region of Virginia home, they live in a variety of beautiful dwellings, representing many different owner tastes. Architectural styles range from quaint colonials, comfortable Cape Cods and gorgeous Georgians, to pristine Plantation-style originals. Falls Church and surrounding communities have a host of single-family homes and multi-family units. The economy and business environment in The Greater Falls Church Area are stronger than ever.
