Fairfax Station: Equestrian Character in Southwestern Fairfax
Fairfax Station is a census-designated place in south-central Fairfax County, Virginia, spanning a semi-rural zone along the Occoquan watershed and the Pohick Creek valley. The name refers to the historic Fairfax Station railroad stop on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, which operated here from the 1850s and played a role during the Civil War. Clara Barton, later founder of the American Red Cross, treated casualties from the Second Battle of Bull Run at the depot in 1862.
The present community retains an unusual residential pattern for inner Northern Virginia. Large-lot residential zoning, protected watershed land along the Occoquan Reservoir, and a legacy of horse properties have kept much of Fairfax Station considerably less densely developed than its neighbors. Burke Lake Park, a 888-acre regional park with a 218-acre lake, sits on the community's northern edge. Clifton, a small incorporated town of only a few blocks, lies immediately west.
There is no municipal government. Fairfax County provides all services, including schools that generally feed into South County High School or Robinson Secondary School. The area has no commercial core of note; residents typically drive to nearby Burke Centre or the Route 123 corridor for retail and services.
