Rolling horse-and-cattle pastureland covers most of the eastern two-thirds of the county, while the Rappahannock River and its tributaries, including Broad Run and Cedar Run, drain the county toward the Chesapeake Bay. Fauquier borders seven counties: Loudoun and Prince William to the northeast, Stafford to the southeast, Culpeper to the south, Rappahannock to the southwest, Warren to the west, and Clarke to the northwest.<\/p>\n Live sibling pages: Loudoun County<\/a>, Prince William County<\/a>, Culpeper County<\/a>, Rappahannock County<\/a>, Clarke County<\/a>, Stafford County<\/a>, and Warren County<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 2020 census counted 72,972 residents in Fauquier County. Warrenton is the largest community with 10,057 residents, followed by New Baltimore, an unincorporated CDP near I-66. Household income runs above the Virginia median of $89,931, reflecting the county’s commuter-belt position within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Population density works out to roughly 113 people per square mile across the county’s 647 square miles of land.<\/p>\n Fauquier’s economy mixes commuter employment toward Washington, D.C. with agriculture, horse country tourism, and county institutions. Top local employers include Fauquier County Public Schools, Fauquier County government, Fauquier Health System, and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s facility in the county. Cattle and hay farming remain widespread on the county’s rolling pastures, and the horse industry — breeding, boarding, foxhunting, and steeplechase racing — is a defining part of local life. The Virginia Gold Cup, a steeplechase meet held near The Plains since 1922, is the county’s best-known annual event.<\/p>\n Fauquier County was formed on May 1, 1759, from Prince William County, and named for Francis Fauquier, Lieutenant Governor of the Virginia colony. Warrenton, laid out in the 1790s, has served as the county seat since the county’s earliest years. The county’s Piedmont horse-country landscape and Civil War-era crossroads — several small communities in the table above trace to 19th-century mills, post offices, or rail stops — shaped its rural, low-density settlement pattern, which persists today despite the county’s position at the edge of the Washington metro area.<\/p>\n Interstate 66 crosses the county’s northern end, and US Routes 15, 17, 29, 50, and 211 all pass through Fauquier, along with several state routes.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Washington Dulles International Airport, roughly 30 miles northeast of Warrenton.<\/p>\n Where is Fauquier County?<\/strong> What is the population of Fauquier County?<\/strong> How big is Fauquier County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Fauquier County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Fauquier County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Fauquier County?<\/strong> |
