There is where those who yearn
for a touch of farm life can find
| a suitable place to settle-and
still be within half hour of
Washington. There is where
those with an eye to the future
can pick up land and save it in
the hope of development yet to
come.
Fairfax County refuses to stop
growing. BY 1880, a population of
417,000 is forecast. That would
be another jump of more than
100 per cent in a county that has
seen it's population double in the
last six years.
And some believe there is rea-
son to think the population
prophets may be too conserva-
tive. They made their predictions
before it was definite that the
new Central Intelligence Agency
would locate in Fairfax County
before it was certain that the
University of Virginia was COM
ing to the county-and when the
fate of Burke airport was less
firm than it now appears.
If the indorsers of these prof.
ects are right. they are sure to
draw many residents into already
buStling Fairfax County.

Arlington County

Arlington County was the first
community on the Virginia side
of the Potomac River to feel the
effects OF suburban migration
from Washington. Arlington is
close enough to the downtown
section of Washington to be
considered part of it. Indeed,
it once was.
1t was coded by the State of
Virginia in 1889 to the Federal
Government as part of the Dis
trict of Columbia. In 1886, it
was retroceded to Virginia by
Congress after a referendum
among its residents. 1t was
known as Alexandria County
until 1920, when the name Ar
llngton was adopted.
The vanguard of Federal en-
ployes seeking suburban homes
and apartments-began pour
ing into Arlington around 1910.
The county's population was ST.
O40. Ten years later it had
reached 1876, 449.
Although much of Arlingtons
25 squares miles is suburban in
character. it is really a county
in name only. 1t has all the
services of a modern city. bus
service along all the main high
ways. and numerous shopping
centers-including the Parking
ton center at Wilson boulevard
and Glebe road where the
Hecht Co has its big Virginia
store. Nearby is a Kann's subur-
ban store on Fairfax drive.
The fast development between
1910 and 1850. however, left Ar
lington little room for future
growth. 1t is still calculated to
get some more of the increasing
Metropolitan Area population
but the development in Airing
ton now is on smaller scale.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-14

other builders have flocked to
the area.
Development in Fairfax Coun-
Ity generally has followed the
main highways. Springfield is
reached by Shirley highway
Other major development cen
tiers are along Arlington boule-
ward.
SEWERS AND WATER: Sew
erS are available in the urban
corner of Fairfax County nearest
Washington, and gradually the
county is extending service. The
Virginia Water Co., a private
utility, and the city of Falls
Church are the major water
suppliers in the urban part of
the county.
Altogether there are 10 sep
arate water firms serving parts
OF the county - many of them
installed by developers. The lack
of a centralized public water
system has been one of the
county's big headaches, and a
$50 million bond issue to estab-
llSh a county system was de-
feated last November. The Vir-
ginla Water Co. claims the
county's needs can be met, how
ever, by its current expansion
and by increased facilities in the
city of Falls Church
ROADS: The Virginia State
Highway Department is reSpon-
Slble for all public road main
tenance in Fairfax County
Streets in new subdivisions are
supposed to be built according
to State specifications. Then the
State takes them over and main
talns them
More than the pastoral scenery
has changed as so many new
people have chosen to make Fair
fax County their home.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT:
Early arrivals found the coun-
ty government wasn't equipped
to meet their needs. The county
executive form of government
was adopted and took effect in
1852. 1t is much like county
manager system. except the SUI
pervisors are elected by magis-
terial districts instead of at
large.
There have been many i'm
provementS in county services
since the change took place. Per-
hapS the one noticed by most
residents is the Inauguration OF
trash and garbage collection in
the urban corner of the county.
GROWTH PROSPECTS: The
remarkable thing about all this
development is that it hasn't be-
gun to fill up the county. Less
than one-third OF Fairfax Coun-
~ IS within the hot" develop
ment area Thousands of tree
covered acres and paSturelands
still lie beyond the urban belt.

That was the year that Fairfax

dents have poured in at the rate
OF $500 a month. The county's
population now is calculated at
10000.
This figure is even more re-
markable when you consider
that Fairfax lost 1900 residents

in the continuing quest for more
real estate fortunes.
PARTM ENTS: Fairfax
ICounty's building boom began
with apartments. The Willston
Apartments. with some 1,40O
units. was built along Arlington
boulevard next to Seven Corners.
Tenants began moving in during
1850 The Willston project still
accounts for the county's largest
tax bill. Its 1855 bill came to
$124,127.
The demand for apartments
soon began TO diminish as the
search for homes grew stronger.
The construction of homes rap
idly outdistanced all other build
ing in the county.
During 1855, Fairfax County's
total construction came to $751;
762,975. More than $66 million
was for new homes.
