Fort Belvoir's history is interwovenwith the founding of Fairfax County,the settling of Virginia and the birth ofour nation. The 8,656-acre tract alongthe Potomac River that is now FortBelvoir was once part of a grant from a17th century English king. Control ofthe land, known as the Northern Neck,was handed down through the Culpeperfamily to Thomas, the sixth LordFairfax, who, in 1734, persuaded hiscousin, Col. William Fairfax, to come toVirginia and oversee the family's hold-ings.

In 1741, Col. Fairfax built his homeon 2,000 acres of what is now much ofthe South Post peninsula. The mansionsat on a high bluff overlooking thePotomac. Col. Fairfax named the estateBelvoir, which is French for "beautifulto see".

Col. Fairfax's eldest son, GeorgeWilliam, befriended young GeorgeWashington, who at age 16, came tolive with his elder half-brother

Lawrence at nearby Mount Vernon. TheFairfax family made Belvoir a center ofculture and aristocratic elegance in theVirginia wilderness, and the family fre-quently entertained members of colonialVirginia society. Washington was a fre-quent guest at Belvoir.

Col. Fairfax died in 1757, and he andhis second wife, Deborah, are buried onthe estate grounds. George WilliamFairfax and his wife, Sally, returned toEngland in 1773, and the Fairfax familyrented out the land and home until1783, when it was mostly destroyed byfire. The mansion was further damagedby British cannons when U.S. militaryforces on the peninsula engaged Britishships leaving Alexandria after the burn-ing of Washington on their way to FortMcHenry in September 1814.

The Philip Otterback family pur-chased the Belvoir peninsula in theearly 1840s and made it one of thelargest fisheries on the Potomac River.The District of Columbia purchased1,500 acres from the Otterback familyin 1910 for a proposed prison. Localcitizens objected to the plan, and the

land was transferred to theWar Department in 1912. In1915, engineer troops fromWashington Barracks, nowFort McNair, established"Camp Belvoir" as a riflerange and training camp.The name was changed

to Camp A.A. Humphreys Dec.23, 1917, when the Corps of Engineersbegan construction of a major campduring an unusually bitter winter totrain engineer replacements for WorldWar I.

The post was renamed FortHumphreys in 1922 to indicate its per-manent status. In recognition of itscolonial-era significance, it was redesig-nated Fort Belvoir in 1935. From itsestablishment until 1989, Fort Belvoirwas home to the Army's EngineerSchool, training more than 700,000 offi-cers and enlisted soldiers for service inall major wars and peacekeeping forcesworldwide.

In 1988, the post was transferredfrom the U. S. Army Training andDoctrine Command to the MilitaryDistrict of Washington. In 1989, the lastEngineer School class graduated fromBelvoir and the school completed itsmove to its new home at Fort LeonardWood, Mo.

Today, Fort Belvoir serves as astrategic sustaining base as part of theNational Capital Region District of theInstallation Management Command.The post retains strong ties to theMilitary District of Washington formany operational matters.

Overview:The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure legislation was

signed into law on Nov. 9, 2005. Under BRAC law, FortBelvoir will have a net gain of approximately 19,300 militaryand civilian employees - the largest net gain of any DoDinstallation.

BRAC 2005 will nearly double the size of Fort Belvoir'sworkforce to a total population of 43,000 by September 15,2011 - the federally mandated date by which BRAC must becompleted.

The cost of construction for new facilities, renovated facil-ities, and infrastructure projects related to the implementationof BRAC at Fort Belvoir is forecasted to cost more than $4billion.

With all of the BRAC projects now fully under construc-tion, the future appearance of Fort Belvoir is beginning totake shape. The post will expand to include a total of threenon-contiguous sites or substations in the region. Non-con-

tiguous Fort Belvoir property includes Rivanna Station inCharlottesville, Va, the Fort Belvoir North Area inSpringfield, Va., and a portion of the Mark Center inAlexandria, Va., that are now home to three BRAC realignedorganizations at Fort Belvoir. They are the DefenseIntelligence Agency's Joint-Use Intelligence Analysis Facility,the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's New CampusEast, and the multiple Defense Department agencies formerlyin leased space in the National Capital Region, respectively.

To support the increased workforce and mission require-ments, the installation will invest $157 million into roads,utilities, communications and base support facilities whilerenovating existing space, building new buildings for incom-ing tenants, reconfiguring the installation, and implementingincreased traffic demand management practices to mitigatetraffic concerns. During 2010-2011, Gunston, Belvoir, andPohick Roads will be expanded to four lanes to accommodateBelvoir's growth.

A view of construction progress at the BRAC 133 project site at Mark Center in Alexandria, Va., on Sept. 23, 2009. The building under con-struction on the left is the West Tower, and the building on the right is the East Tower. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District ismanaging design and construction of the $1.08 billion project as part of ongoing BRAC 2005 programs here.
