Alexandria Overview

Founded by a group of Scottish tobacco merchants, the riverfront town of Alexandria came into being on a sunny day in July 1749, when a 60-acre tract of land was auctioned off in 1/2-acre lots. As you stroll the brick sidewalks and cobblestone streets of highly gentrified Old Town, the city's official historic district, you'll see more than 2,000 buildings dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. In fact, Alexandria has more historic attractions than any other city its size in Virginia. Read More
