There are three towns in Fairfax County - Clifton, Vienna, and Herndon

Falls Church and Fairfax are cities.

Everything else is unincorporated (i.e. neither a town nor a city), and is ran by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.


Not true at all, Clifton ceased being a town in 1977


What are you talking about? https://www.cliftonva.gov/

It's a town with a mayor and council. The town charter is online, feel free to get informed.

The TOWN OF CLIFTON is a governmental body created by the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Clifton municipal charter was granted March 10, 1902. The town is one-quarter of a square mile in size.


Website is out of date. We de-incorporated in 2022. We are a glorified civic association with elected board members


Reston has been a census designated place [CDP] for decades. It basically is a large HOA but Fairfax County and Mclean have the inequitable special tax district payable to the county. Reston Assoc /HOA residences were taxed to pay for county floated construction bonds for Hunters Woods coomunity center- paid off in 1999. New western FX census designated placs split off from general tracts include south of Great Falls and north of Town of Herndon or Reston CDP are Dranesville and Great Falls Crossing. Wolf Trap also got a name and Hutchison-south of Herndon became a CDP.

Has there ever been consideration to making Tysons its own city?

Tysons was a gas station at the level intersection of 7 and 123 when VA enacted the state-wide freeze on towns and cities. So, no never could have been even considered.

Once Comstock developers push through the casino there with the help of local legislators, I’ll bet they make a special exemption to make it a town (or city) if it can be taxed more heavily.

What Northern Virginia really needs are more counties as opposed to towns. Fairfax could be easily split up into three more counties; Loudon could be split down the middle

Reston's it's own State of Mind. Isn't that enough?

Cities in Virginia are not within counties. They are completely separate entities.
