Alexandria

Alexandria, Virginia, is a growing city located on the Potomac River, just south of Washington, DC. It’s known for its rich history as well as its architecturally rich Old Town region. This area is known for its historic features like brick sidewalks and well-preserved 18th- and 19th-century buildings.

The primary Native group that inhabited this area before it was overtaken by European settlers was and continues to be the Piscataway. Additional groups include the Anacostank, Pamunkey, Mattapanient, Nangemeick, and Tauxehent.

Explored by John Smith in the early 1600s, he reportedly came into contact with the Patawomeck and Deog tribes, as well as the Piscataway. The region was bought by Captain John Alexander in 1669 for 6,600 pounds of tobacco and was renamed after its founder.

After this, Alexandria became a hub for tobacco and wheat.

Currently, Alexandria is a swiftly growing metropolitan center that offers a range of cultural and historic dynamism. Primarily a residential area, the historic center of Alexandria is known as Old Town. With its concentration of boutiques, restaurants, shops and theaters, it is a major draw for all who live in Alexandria as well as for tourists visiting from other regions. Like Old Town, many of Alexandria’s neighborhoods are easily walkable. It is the 7th largest and highest-income independent city in Virginia.

Near areas such as Arlington, Bethesda, and Falls Church, Alexandria is a wonderful place to work, live, or visit. With a rich history, proximity to all kinds of entertainment, and many cultural touchstones, this region is a diverse area with a strong economy and is filled with things to learn and experience. With cold weather in the winter and warm weather in the summer, this region experiences all four seasons throughout the year and draws visitors all year round.
