Did you know this about Alexandria, VA?
In 1791, Alexandria was included in the area chosen by George Washington to become the District of Columbia. Washington D.C. once included both the city of Alexandria and what was then Alexandria County until 1846. In 1846 the roughly 31 square miles of land which was ceded by the Commonwealth of Virginia was returned to Virginia and now forms primarily what is referred to as Old Town Alexandria and Arlington County. In 1920, Virginia's General Assembly voted to incorporate what had been Alexandria County as Arlington County to minimize confusion.
In the 20th Century during the 50's the West End area of Alexandria was annexed from the County of Fairfax Virginia. It is the most typically suburban part of Alexandria, with a street hierarchy of winding roads and cul-de-sacs. It, too, over the years has become decidedly more of an urban rather than suburban area, due to the area's rapid population growth, which is estimated to have increased by 10% or more since the year 2010.
