Founded in 1749, it has a fascinating history, and many of its historic buildings are still preserved today. During its long history, Alexandria was a tobacco trading post, one of the ten busiest ports in America, a part of the District of Columbia, home to both the largest slave-trading firm in the country and a large free-black community (which is now preserved as a historic area called Parker Gray), a Civil War supply center for Union troops, and a streetcar suburb for Federal workers. Alexandria was also the hometown of George Washington, Robert E. Lee, Jim Morrison and Mama Cass.

It hosts the longest running open Farmers Market in the United States – open every Saturday morning at City Hall Market Square. Old Town is a highly desirable place to live.
