In George Washngtons time Alexandria-or
iBellhaven as 1t was at first known along about
the middle Of the eighteenth century--was one OF
the most prominent ports In the United States and
seemed to hold out every promise of extensive
development in the future. George Washington
himself took hand in booming the port, which
developed an extensive foreign trade. The docks
were crowded with warehouses filled with corn,
tobacco and other products while in the harbor
were always to be found many of the largest class
Of cargo ships of that period loading and dis
charging a variety of commodities. AS the Amer
ican terminus of heavy overseas trade Alex
andra became we'll known In shipping circles in
England. and 1t was thought for a time that the
port on the Potomac would overshadow Batl
more. Then came the various influences that
combined to bring about the commercial eclipse
OF the little city so dear to the heart of the ma
lions liberatoT. One of the first OF these was the
establishment only few miles away of the capi-
tai of the nation, which speedily overshadowed
Alexandria IN various ways. Then came the
building of railroads, which diverted much traffic
TO other channels, and finally the Civil war
helped to put blight upon the community
which had long been one of the stronghods OF the
Lees OF Virginia.
