Company Overview

The City of Alexandria is located in northern Virginia and
is bordered by the District of Columbia (Potomac River)
and Arlington and Fairfax counties. With a population of
approximately 140,000 and a land area of 15.75 square miles,
Alexandria is the seventh largest city in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, and one of the most densely populated in the United
States.
Alexandria is unique—an historic place which keeps pace with
the modern world. The City is part of a large metropolitan area
and the Nation’s Capital, yet it has retained its historic character.
About one-quarter of the town’s 15 square miles has been
designated as a national or local historic district. Thousands
of buildings in these districts are monuments to the past,
while being actively used by citizens for homes, businesses and
museums.
The City is racially and ethnically diverse. Approximately onequarter
of the City’s residents are foreign born. Students at the
City’s single public high school come from 88 different countries,
and speak 69 different languages.
