General information about Fairfax County

Population: 1,003,157 Area: 396 sq. miles County Seat: Fairfax |
Area Code(s): Time Zone: Eastern |
Fairfax County is the most populous county in Virginia, as well as in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan area. It is mostly suburban but has some urban and rural areas. Fairfax County was formed in 1742 from part of Prince George County. The county seat is the City of Fairfax, only because Fairfax County administrative offices are located within the City of Fairfax. The City of Fairfax is an independent city, so it is not administratively part of Fairfax County despite being geographically surrounded by county territory. Fairfax County includes the towns of Clifton, Herndon, and Vienna; all other county territory is unincorporated. Bordering counties include Prince William County to the southwest and Loundoun County to the northwest. Except for Arlington County and the independent cities of Falls Church and Alexandria to the northeast, the Potomac River makes up the rest of the county’s border. Counties in Maryland lie across the river: Montgomery County to the north, Prince George’s County to the east, and Charles County to the southeast. Thanks to their proximity to Washington, D.C., Fairfax County residents count the federal government as their largest employer.
