  • History of Fairfax City
    HISTORY OF FAIRFAX CITY The City of Fairfax began as the Town of Providence in 1805, a community built around the Fairfax County Courthouse. Completed in 1800 at the corner of Little River Turnpike and Ox Road, the area was a crossroads of conflict during the American Civil War with hardships and disrupted lives for everyone. From a crossroads of conflict, the area became a crossroads of commerce in the late nineteenth century when the dairy industry propelled economic rebirth and the building of schools, churches, homes, barns, and businesses and in 1874 the Town of Providence officially became the Town of Fairfax. The early 20th century ushered in a myriad of technological and transportation changes and the emergence of civic organizations, sports clubs, a Town police unit, and a volunteer fire company. World War II spurred rapid growth across the region in housing, business ventures, and population and Fairfax quickly changed from a rural to a suburban community. The Town of Fairfax deeded a 150-acre tract of land in 1959 to the University of Virginia to establish a permanent home for what is now George Mason University. In 1961, the Town of Fairfax was incorporated as the independent City of Fairfax and in 1962 a new City Hall was completed. Rich in history and heritage, residents and visitors enjoy a small-town atmosphere and an abundance of cultural and recreational pursuits in the midst of a bustling metropolitan area. As the City's first mayor, John C. Wood said in 1962 - "Fairfax has a wonderful past and present and an even greater future." HOW DID THE JULY 4TH CELEBRATION BEGIN IN FAIRFAX CITY? Fairfax City’s Independence Day Parade and Fireworks began in 1967 and was organized by the Delta Alpha Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority.

  • Private Schools
    ADVERTISEMENT private schools Finding the Perfect Fit iven the scores of private school options available in the greater Washington area, it’s little wonder that the G prospect of choosing the right institution for your child can seem daunting. Still, while it is hardly as simple as A-B-C, most of the area’s top experts in the private school arena seem to agree on strategies for parents suff ering from the paradox of choice. ADVERTISEMENT private schools The decision of where a child goes to school is one of most important ones a parent must make. So, the experts advise parents to take their time, research comprehensively, and visit as many schools as possible. But before hitting the books, so to speak, the fi rst thing to do is to study your child. Knowing what motivates him, knowing her learning style, understanding his personality type — all will help in the eff ort to find the perfect match. Ron Goldblatt, executive director of the Association of Independent Maryland & D.C. Schools (AIMS), suggests taking an inventory of your child. “If they are younger, can they sit still? Do they need higher levels of supervision? How confi dent are they? What is their temperament? Is behavior altered through adherence to rules or by having meaningful conversation?” The second part of the analysis is deciding which traits you want to nurture in your child. If community service is important, look for a school that requires volunteer work. If a child is highly creative, look for a program that teaches outside the box.
