As the seat of Prince William County and the location of the First Battle of Bull Run in the Civil War, Manassas is a notable city with a vibrant past and strong community. It is about 30 miles away from Washington DC, and the major highways that service Manassas are I-66 and US 29. Route 28, 234, and 234 Business are the major roads that run through the city. The Manassas Region Airport is the busiest aviation airport in Virginia, hosting 415 aircraft, 26 businesses, charter companies, flight schools, and aviation services.
Similar to many other Northern Virginia cities, Manassas began as Manassas Junction, which was between the Orange and Alexandria Railroad and Manassas Gap Railroad. Another interesting historical fact about Manassas is that it is the site of the first time railroad transportation was used for large scale military purposes. Today, the routes are owned by the Norfolk Southern Railroad with Amtrak and the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) serving the city and surrounding areas. Three of the major Amtrak routes that stop by the Manassas Station are: New York City to Chicago, Boston to Roanoke, and New York to New Orleans.

The city of Burke, Virginia was built around a railway station. The station was named after Silas Burke, a 19th century farmer, merchant and local politician who owned the land and permitted right-of-way to the Orange and Alexandria railroad. In 1903, a racetrack for trotting and pacing horses was built in Burke. Henry C. Copperthite, also known as the “King of Pie” because he owned a factory in Georgetown that made 50,000 pies each day, built four hotels, stables, and a general store. All of these developments made Burke a popular place for city-dwellers to visit in the summertime. People arrived at Burke to attend fairs, races, exhibitions and baseball games. Although Burke has gone through changes throughout its history, it remains a great area for young professionals and families to live in Fairfax County.

“Our moving date kept changing and American Moving could not have been more accommodating and understanding. They worked with me each time I had to call to try to reschedule and really did their best to get a time that was good for us. We had never used movers before because it feels silly to spend money on something you can do yourself but their price was fair and the relief was priceless. Thank you, American Moving!”
