Falls Church is an independent city located in Northern Virginia just west of Washington, D.C. In 1734, an Episcopalian group
founded The Falls Church, which facilitated population and economic growth in the area. Falls Church was the location of troupe
encampments during the early years of the Civil War and witnessed several raids led by Mosby’s Rangers. Ten years after the
war ended Falls Church became a township and in 1948 was granted status as an independent city.
