A Brief History of Alexandria, VA 

Alexandria, Virginia, sits on the banks of the Potomac River and is one of the most historic cities in the region. Founded in 1749, Alexandria quickly became a thriving port town, known for its shipbuilding, tobacco trade, and strategic location just south of Washington, D.C.

The city played a key role in early American history. George Washington was a frequent visitor, and Alexandria was once part of the land ceded to form the District of Columbia—though it was returned to Virginia in the mid-1800s. During the Civil War, Union troops occupied the city almost immediately due to its importance as a transportation and supply hub.

Over the years, Alexandria has evolved from a colonial seaport to a modern urban community, while still holding onto its rich past. Today, Old Town Alexandria is famous for its cobblestone streets, 18th-century architecture, and walkable waterfront, offering a unique blend of history and livability.

Whether you're drawn to the historic charm or the convenience of city living, Alexandria remains one of the most desirable places to call home in Northern Virginia.
