Learn more about the city of Falls Church here
Taking its name from The Falls Church, an eighteenth-century Anglican parish, Falls Church gained township status within Fairfax County in 1875. In 1948, it was incorporated as the City of Falls Church, an independent city with county-level governance status. The city's corporate boundaries do not include all of the area historically known as Falls Church; these areas include Seven Corners and other portions of the current Falls Church postal districts of Fairfax County, as well as the area of Arlington County known as East Falls Church, which was part of the town of Falls Church from 1875 to 1936.
In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, the area of present-day Falls Church was part of the Algonquin-speaking world, outside the fringes of the powerful Powhatan paramount chiefdom to the south. The earliest known settlement within the current city limits of Falls Church was on the south side of present day Lee Highway at its intersection with Columbia Street. Just east of Falls Church, on Wilson Boulevard, is Powhatan Springs, where Powhatan is said to have convened autumn councils. Today's Broad Street and Great Falls Street follow long-established trade and communication routes.
In the late 17th century, especially after Bacon's Rebellion in 1676, English settlers from the Tidewater region of Virginia began to migrate to the area. The Falls Church, from which the City takes its name, was first called "William Gunnell's Church," built of wood in 1733 to serve Truro Parish, which had been formed two years earlier from a larger parish centered in Quantico. By 1757, the building was referred to as "The Falls Church," as it was located along the main tobacco rolling road from the Little Falls of the Potomac River. George Mason became a Vestryman in 1748, as did George Washington in 1763. Falls Church, like many colonial Virginia settlements, began as a "neighborhood" of large land grant plantations anchored by an Anglican Church. By 1800, the large land holdings had been sub-divided into smaller farms, many of them relying on enslaved labor. With the soil exhausted by tobacco, new crops including wheat, corn, potatoes, and fruit were grown for area markets. By 1900, Falls Church was the largest town in Fairfax County, with 1,007 residents. In 1948, Falls Church became an independent city in order to control its municipal services, including the school system
Falls Church City has it's own public school system. The schools are: Mount Daniel Elementary School, which includes pre-school, kindergarten and first grade; Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, which includes grades 2 - 4; Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, which includes grades 5 - 7; and George Mason High School, which includes grades 8 - 12. Falls Church zip codes include: 22041, 22042, 22043, 22044, 22046.
Falls Church is served by the Orange line of the Washington Metro at the West Falls Church and East Falls Church stations. Additionally, it is served by Metrobus (regional public bus). The Metrorail Silver Line, under active construction in early 2010, will serve East Falls Church (EFC) station beginning in 2013. It will run between Stadium-Armory in the east, following the Orange Line route until it reaches EFC, where it will branch off towards the northwest, eventually reaching Dulles International Airport. EFC will be a key transfer point.
