This installation is located in Fairfax County in the Commonwealth of Virginia approximately 45 miles south of Washington, DC and is the home to 130 federal agencies from all military components as well as all other federal organizations. Two geographical landmarks in the immediate area are Great Falls National Park and Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington, the first president of the United States. The fort is situated half way between Washington, DC and Richmond, VA providing countless tourist attractions that include historical locations, national parks, monuments, museums, theatres, and, of course, the White House and Congressional buildings. There is never a time when less than two dozen events are available to the public.

History

The Belvoir Plantation was the original home of William Fairfax. The land was purchased in 1738 and the family mansion was built in 1740. After the home was destroyed by fire in 1783 the family did not rebuilt. The mansion remains and nearby family graves are listed as Historic Places. The land was transferred to the War Department in 1912. In 1915 Camp Belvoir was established as a rifle range and training camp. The name was changed to Camp A.A. Humphreys in 1917 when the Corps of Engineers trained engineer replacements for World War I on the site. The name then changed to Fort Belvoir in 1930 to honor the Fairfax family plantation, Belvoir. Today Fort Belvoir continues to serve as a strategic sustaining base as part of the National Capital Region District of the Installation Management Command for numerous operational matters.
