THE FIRST BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED 1732-33
WELCOME TO FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA |
Falls Church, a city steeped in history with a bright future, takes its
name from a little wooden church completed in 1733. It was known as "The
Falls Church" because of its proximity to the Little Falls of the Potomac
River.
Among its illustrious clergy were James Keith, maternal grandfather of Chief Justice John Marshall, and Francis Scott Key, author of The Star Spangled Banner, who served as lay reader. George Mason, architect of Virginia's Bill of Rights, was a member of the vestry for 35 years. At a meeting October 25, 1762, George Washington was appointed vestryman and the following year a parish levy of 30,000 pounds of tobacco was set to raise funds for a new church of red brick. In 1769 the present building was constructed on the same site and the community around it became known as Falls Church. The former village church is now one of the largest Episcopal Churches in Virginia. |
