4 Welcome Welcome to the Neighborhood Fairfax County is a suburban county in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The county seat is the city of Fairfax, but since it is an independent city, under Virginia law, the city itself is not acutally a part of Fairfax County. Fairfax County's economy revolves mainly around professional services and technology. Many residents work for the government or for contractors of the federal government. The government is the largest employer, with Fort Belvoir in southern Fairfax being the county's single largest location of federal employment. Fairfax County also is home to many other major employers such as Volkswagen Group of America, Hilton Worldwide, Gannett, Capital One, General Dynamics, Freddie Mac, Sallie Mae, ManTech International, Mars and many more. The county is home to seven Fortune 500 company headquarters as well, 11 Hispanic 500 companies, and five companies on the Black Enterprise 500 list. The county is home to the headquarters of intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and National Reconnaissance Office, as well as the National Counterterrorism Center and Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Fairfax County has many different events every year heavy in arts and music. The county also has many protected areas with a total of over 390 county parks on more than 23,000 acres of land.
