Stafford County, Virginia
Stafford County is just south of Washington D.C. It’s been around since 1664, making it one of the oldest counties in Virginia. The Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers border the county.
Historians will love the fact that George Washington grew up at Ferry Farm in Stafford. The county is growing fast, with new developments springing up all over. But there’s still plenty of open space and parks to enjoy.
Stafford is the county seat and a hub of activity. You can’t beat the location because it’s close enough to D.C. It’s an easy commute, but far enough away to escape the city hustle. The people here are friendly and down-to-earth. And if you’re into craft beer, check out the local breweries. They’re making quite a name for themselves.

The original cool. Virginia’s 95 counties mix old-school roots with mountain roads with Civil War footsteps. One county’s got peanuts, another has presidents. Some lean country, others lean capital.
