Originally known as Flint Hill, Oakton, Virginia was renamed in 1883, inspired by the giant white oak tree on the corner of Hunter Mill Road and Chain Bridge Road. The small agricultural community began to grow in 1905, with the Fairfax Electric Railway’s construction of a trolley line from Vienna to Fairfax Court House. The trolley stop at Oakton, Virginia opened in 1905, and proved to be a boon to business. Oakton began to lose its rural character in the 1950s with the arrival of government employees, and the area really grew starting in the 1970s with the construction of shopping centers, housing developments, and office buildings.
The Oakton, Virginia Collection consists of .25 linear feet spanning the years 1983-2000 and includes papers and memorabilia regarding Oakton, Virginia. Included are articles of incorporation for the Oakton Citizen’s Association and a dedication program and invitation from the grand opening of the Oakton Branch Post Office on August 18, 2000.
