Centreville, Virginia was so named due to its location at the center of more established surrounding towns Alexandria, Colchester, Dumfries, Middleburg, Georgetown, Warrenton, and Leesburg. In the Civil War, several battles were fought nearby. During the winter of 1861 and early 1862, the town was significantly fortified by the Confederacy and served as a supply depot for both sides at various points in the war. Centreville is famous for being the site of the construction of the first railroad ever built exclusively for military use, while its position atop a high ridge provided a commanding view of the surrounding area.
Today, Centreville is one of the many suburbs of Washington, D.C. and is much the same as any other suburb in America, with residential homes, restaurants, shopping and several parks. The nearby Cox Farms is the home of its annual Fall Festival, offering hayrides, giant slides, adorable farm animals, rope swings & straw tunnels, live entertainment, pumpkins galore, the Festival Market and the scary Fields of Fear after dark.
