Oakton, Virginia
Population: 30,000
Located in Fairfax County
Today, Northern Virginia is one of the largest and fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country. Yet from the earliest Colonial days, stories of Jamestown and the adventures of Captain John Smith and an Indian girl named Pocahontas are among the first history lessons that children learn in school. Indeed this is a place of history. George Washington and George Mason, father of the Bill of Rights, were born here and had their homes here. Robert E. Lee's boyhood home was here too; the first battle of the Civil War took place in Manassas. Nature, too, plays an important role. The scenic Potomac River rushes along the northern border of the state, past the District of Columbia to its east and down into the Chesapeake Bay. To the west lie the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park. The region balances its historic past with a vibrant present. Scenic rural communities lie not too far from modern suburban city centers; cobblestone streets are lined with fashionable shops; fox hunts by day, opera or ballet at night; a bike ride along the historic Old Dominion Railway right-of-way or above in a jet flying out of Washington Dulles International Airport.
