About Centreville, VA

Posted on Friday, November 9th, 2007 at 4:31 pm.

Centreville is located in Fairfax County. It is one of the oldest communities in the county. A number of historic homes, churches, and Civil War earthworks remain in the area. Many, but not all, are concentrated within the Centreville Historic District.

In 1943, Centreville was still so small that a state map book individually, on a map of the entire county, indicated each building in the town (and also misspelled its name). In more recent times, Centreville has become a suburb of Washington, D.C. Most growth occurred in the late '90s and early 2000s due the influx of technology companies.

Now, Centreville is quite a typical wealthy American suburb, composed of luxury townhomes, strip malls, a movie theater, and large housing developments.

Population: 48,661

County: Fairfax

Geographic Size: total area of 25.2 km² (9.7 mi²), all land.
