The Preservation of History in Fairfax County, Virginia presents an overview of one urban county's efforts to retain its historic and archaeological sites in the face of increasing developmental pressures during the past thirty-five years. It provides a thorough review of historical development in the county as well as practical guidance on how decisions were developed. Written by two distinguished historians, Ross and Nan Netherton, who were part of the process from the beginning, this study presents a perspective which only familiarity with its successes and failures can bestow. This book is both a historical survey and a "how-to" manual for government officials and preservationists.

Excerpt from Industrial and Historical Sketch of Fairfax County, Virginia It is designed to present here the agricultural and industrial features of Fairfax County, together with its climatic and topographical advantages, so as to Show that the county offers special inducements for the investment of capital, and rare opportunities to the home - seeker, whether for agricultural, industrial, or residential purposes. Captain John Smith said of Virginia: Heaven and earth never agreed better to frame a place for man's habitation. George Washington declared, in some of his correspondence, that no portion of our country offered more natural advantages than that part lying in the Potomac River bed. I. Sterling Morton, when Secretary of Agriculture, after a visit to Fairfax County, expressed his amazement at the bargains in land the county offered, and the excellent crops he saw on every hand. He said: Within three hours' drive of Washington there were bargains and opportunities unexcelled anywhere in the West. Verily, Fairfax County, old in its history, and hoary in its traditions, is throbbing with a new life of activity and enterprise. Only yesterday were her advantages and possibilities appreciated; yet, to-day she is attracting settlers from all parts of theunion, and even from foreign countries. Certainly no other section extends a more cordial welcome and more attractive inducements to the investor and home-seeker.
