Our Staff/Our Story

Did you know;

Gainesville was once a changing point for stagecoach horses on the Fauquier & Alexandria Turnpike. During the Civil War, two railroads—the Manassas Gap and the Orange and Alexandria—intersected here. Manassas Junction was strategically important to both the Union and the Confederacy as a supply depot and for military transportation. Two of the war’s great battles were fought nearby. In 1852, the Manassas Gap Railroad reached the area and the stop became known as Gainesville (5 miles west) to Alexandria (25 miles east). The town was a shipping point for grain, timber, and cattle and remained a major cattle shipping point into the early 1960s. During the American Civil War, nearby Thoroughfare Gap in the Bull Run Mountains served as a path for soldiers to reach the First and Second Battles of Bull Run. In 1994, the groundbreaking for the town's first townhome community began; it was named Crossroads. This marked the beginning of mass-development for Gainesville.
