PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY

welcome

E LETTER FROM PRINC WILLIAM COUNTY

Prince William County is continuing our great transition. We are becoming a center of job creation and economic growth. We were ranked 1st in the Commonwealth of Virginia and 3rd in the United States in job growth, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Prince William had the highest jump in median household income in the country, and is now the 7th wealthiest county in the nation, with a median income of over $95,000. The county is maintaining its commitment to make Haymarket Museum transportation a priority, with an investment of $470 million in road construction projects. As a result of the county's sound financial management and prudent infrastructure investments, Prince William County holds three AAA bond ratings. This is a status that fewer than one half of one percent of jurisdictions across the entire country enjoy today. These ratings save Prince William taxpayers millions of dollars every year. Prince William County has again been named a Top 100 community for young people; this is likely due to our excellent schools and many activities available for youths in the county. I encourage you to visit the shops in the historic Town of Occoquan or take advantage of the new exciting retail opportunities all over the county. Spend a weekend with family or friends exploring Prince William Forest Park and Manassas National Battlefield, or simply enjoy many of the recreational opportunities available in our county parks. I invite you to come back often as we continue to commemorate the Sesquicentennial through 2015. By the close of the Sesquicentennial, Prince William County will be in the heart of the Military Heritage Trail, with the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico National Cemetery and the future Americans in Wartime Museum.

From 3,000 Acres to 360 Square Miles…

Settlement in Prince William County began in 1653, when the first land patent established 3,000 acres from the Occoquan River to Neabsco Creek. A 534-acre plantation was cut and became known as the George Mason plantation. It was here that the first public buildings were constructed and Mason's "wood bridge" became the first land connection across the Occoquan River.

George Washington Slept Here, Really ...

What is believed to be the oldest home still standing in Prince William County, Rippon Lodge, was built on a scenic Woodbridge hilltop circa 1747, by Richard Blackburn. His friend, George Washington, visited often and stayed overnight at the lodge.

Our Roots are Across the Atlantic ...

Named for William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland and youngest son of King George II of England, Prince William County was formed in 1771; it was carved out of Stafford County and initially included what is now Loudoun, Fauquier, Arlington and Fairfax counties.

A Revolutionary Time ...

As a new nation was forming and asserting its independence, General George Washington and French General (Comte de) Rochambeau forged ahead with their troops through Prince William County on what is now known as the new King's Highway walking trail. Their advance, during the final campaign of the American Revolution, eventually led to the defeat of the British forces at Yorktown in 1781.

A Call to Arms ...

In April 1861, a deadlier conflict erupted. Confederate soldiers were recruited on the Brentsville Courthouse lawn and on a hot July day in 1861, the sleepy railroad community of Manassas Junction found itself on the forefront of American history. During the Battle of First Manassas/Bull Run, the first major land battle of the Civil War, about 4,900 people were killed, wounded, captured or reported missing. Thirteen months later, the armies clashed once again. Under the command of General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, Confederate troops waited behind the unfinished Manassas railroad grade and surprised Union troops under Major General John Pope's command. The Second Battle of Manassas had begun. Four times larger than the first, the second battle spanned two-and-a-half days and involved 120,000 men. Nearly 24,000 soldiers were wounded or killed. Today, their stories echo at Manassas National Battlefield Park. In October 1863, Confederate forces suffered a bloody defeat as they tried to cross Broad Run in pursuit of the Federal Third Corps on what is now Bristoe Station Battlefield Heritage Park.

Today, the Prince William region consists of two incorporated cities Manassas and Manassas Park, and four incorporated towns Haymarket, Dumfries, Occoquan and Quantico. According to legend, the name Manassas was derived either from an Indian source or from the name Manasseh, a Jewish innkeeper at Manassas Gap. Manassas originated in 1852 at the junction of two railroads connecting Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. to the Shenandoah Valley and Richmond. Because of the bustling railroad, Manassas became the heart of Prince William County and a small village evolved around the tracks in 1850. In 1975, Manassas became an independent city. What began as a subdivision in Manassas, Manassas Park became an independent city in June 1975 and was the last town in Virginia to do so before the Virginia legislature placed a moratorium on such action. Haymarket is home to an Indian hunting path, which became Old Carolina Road. Burned by Union troops in 1862, the town has been revived with a collection of quaint, restored buildings and shops. Chartered in 1749, Dumfries is Virginia’s oldest, continually chartered town. Dumfries was once the second leading port in Colonial America, receiving tobacco from the upland. Derived from the Dogue Indian word meaning "at the end of the water," Occoquan was a natural site for commerce. In 1765, it flourished as an industrial settlement with grist mills and tobacco warehouses. For 175 years, Occoquan was home to the first automated grist mill in the nation until it was destroyed by fire. Today, the Mill House Museum is all that remains of the Merchant's Mill. Quantico is the only town in the U.S. that is almost completely surrounded by a military installation-the Marine Corps Base. With ties to the Revolutionary and Civil wars, Quantico is rich in military history. Steps away in the town of Triangle, stands the spectacular National Museum of the Marine Corps, one of the most visited attractions in Prince William County.

HISTORIC SITES & MUSEUMS Itinerary Ideas

ORE M D N A R A W IL CIV Walk in the footsteps of America’s first soldiers, explore a Civil War hospital and immerse yourself in the sites and the stories that bring the nation’s history to life. DAY ONE: Stand where “Stonewall” Jackson earned his nickname and discover the stories of the people who fought in the infamous battles that unfolded here. Enhance your history tour with a trip to Ben Lomond, a plantation turned Civil War hospital, and handle the tools doctors once used to treat patients. DAY TWO: Explore Old Town Manassas and the Manassas Museum, which interprets Northern Virginia Piedmont history through artifacts, documents, videos and images. Visit the Old Manassas Courthouse-the site of the 1911 Peace Jubilee- then venture just outside Old Town to Mayfield Earthwork Fort, which Confederate troops used to defend the vital railroad lines at Manassas Junction. DAY THREE: Explore Leesylvania State Park where history and nature unite. This park was once home to Henry Lee III, a Revolutionary War hero who fathered Civil War Confederate General Robert. E. Lee. Fish, canoe or hike to a scenic overlook to see the remains of a Civil War Confederate gun battery. Experience boot camp and test your shooting skills at the laser rifle range at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, then continue your trip through history at the Weems-Botts museum in Dumfries. Home to Parson Mason Weems, biographer of “The Life of Washington,” visitors can learn the true story behind the tale of the cherry tree.

greetings FROM MANASSAS

Welcome to the City of Manassas City Hall Manassas, just outside of Washington, D.C. The City of Manassas is a small city that feels like home. It’s 10 square miles of homes, the arts, entertainment and community events. With almost 38,000 residents, the City serves as a transportation and business hub that offers great restaurants and shops and fun community events. Steeped in history and tradition, the city center has an old town feel with a “city square” type event pavilion - the Harris Pavilion. Residents and visitors can watch a band or attend an ice cream social Manassas Museum in the summer and ice skate in the winter. The city also offers a museum rich in Civil War and local Virginia history. The arts are alive in the City of Manassas at the Center for the Arts at the Candy Factory. And, although the City of Manassas is rich in history, it is also home to fortune 500 companies and the largest general aviation airport in Virginia. The city prides itself on offering a supportive business climate and a professional, customer service oriented staff. I invite you to take a stroll around our Old Town. Enjoy one-ofa-kind restaurants and shops. Come for a concert and stay to shop and dine. During the warmer months, outside dining abounds around the City. Whatever you choose to do in the area, visit the City of Manassas. It’s worth the trip!

Manassas Park made history in 1975 when it became the last town in the Commonwealth to become an independent city. Located along the border of Prince William and Fairfax counties, the city is now home to more than 15,000 residents and features pristine parks, unique ethnic dining and shopping options and one of the region’s most challenging General’s Ridge Golf Course golf courses, General’s Ridge. The community also has a rich history, dating back to the Civil War. Signal Hill was a Confederate observation post during the Battle of First Manassas/Bull Run and where the wig-wag signals were first used during the war. Today, the park is part of the Virginia Civil War Signal Bay Waterpark Trails and includes a memorial that cites the first telecommunication on a battlefield. Take a scenic stroll through the historic park then visit the adjacent Signal Bay Waterpark, which opens Memorial Day weekend and features a lazy river, water cannons and pool.

A PARANORMAL EXPERIENC E

Take a trip through the historic haunts in Prince William & Manassas. Ghosts have roamed the community for decades; sometimes appearing in windows and street corners while other times causing mischief by making candle flames dance, doors close and stairs creek. Come see for yourself! DAY ONE: Join a guided ghost tour in Historic Occoquan to get a glimpse of an Indian who allegedly appears in a bathroom mirror at Occoquan Inn and talk to the merchants who have had merchandise strewn around by ghosts. After, wander the halls of Rippon Lodge, which is allegedly haunted by a child and someone who died in the home’s parlor after a dual. Today, some people say they have seen the child looking out the upstairs window. DAY TWO: Get spooked at Weems-Botts Museum where Civil War soldiers are said to haunt the nearby cemeteries while a child, who still talks to ghost hunters in the voice of a little girl, haunts the home. Biography Channel’s “My Ghost Story” ﬁlmed here in the fall of 2012. Connect with Agnes who was executed at the Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre but allegedly, never left. People claim they have heard voices from the jail on site and seen faces in the windows. The television show “Ghost Hunters” ﬁlmed here just a few years ago.
