Prince William County was named for the second son of King George II of England. It was established in1731 and was originally 2,000 square miles. By 1759, the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier and Loudoun had been carved from it. That left an area of 348 square miles. Manassas City adds 8.1 square miles and Manassas Park has 1.7 square miles.
Manassas is very history rich. Monahoc and Doeg Indians first inhibited the land. They were displaced by settlers in the 17th Century. In 1850 with the construction of railroads Manassas became a major link near Washington that was vital during the Civil War. The first Battle of Bull Run was fought in 1861, and a year later was the Second Battle of Manassas. Manassas National Battlefield is a 5,000-acre park. There are lots of points of interest as you tour the park.
