Fairfax: George Mason University and the Courthouse City
The City of Fairfax is an independent city surrounded by Fairfax County, covering about six square miles. The city serves as the judicial seat of Fairfax County even though it is politically independent, hosting the Fairfax County Courthouse, Judicial Center, and Historic Courthouse. This arrangement is unusual: an independent city functioning as the county seat of a separately governed county that completely surrounds it.
George Mason University's main campus straddles the city and the surrounding county, enrolling roughly 40,000 students and ranking as one of the largest universities in Virginia. The university has expanded substantially since its 1972 founding and now operates additional campuses in Arlington (the Mason Square law school) and Prince William County. The Antonin Scalia Law School is located at the Arlington campus.
Old Town Fairfax, centered on Main Street and Chain Bridge Road, retains historic commercial buildings and the original 1800 courthouse where the Treaty of Mount Vernon was drafted. The Fairfax City Regional Library, the Old Town Square events space, and the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center anchor the downtown. The Patriot Center (EagleBank Arena), on the Mason campus, hosts major concerts and NCAA basketball.
