2011 Fort Belvoir Post GuideHistoryHistory

Fort Belvoir's history is interwovenwith the founding of FairfaxCounty, the settling of Virginia

and the birth of our nation. The 8,656-acre tract along the Potomac River thatis now Fort Belvoir was once part of agrant from a 17th century English king.Control of the land, known as theNorthern Neck, was handed downthrough the Culpeper family to Thomas,the sixth Lord Fairfax, who, in 1734,persuaded hiscousin, Col.WilliamFairfax, tocome toVirginia andoversee thefamily's hold-ings.

In 1741, Col.Fairfax built hishome on 2,000acres of what isnow much of theSouth Post penin-sula. The mansionsat on a high bluffoverlooking thePotomac. Col.Fairfax named theestate Belvoir,which is French for"beautiful to see".

Col. Fairfax's eld-est son, GeorgeWilliam, befriendedyoung GeorgeWashington, who at age 16, came tolive with his elder half-brotherLawrence 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 colo-nial Virginia society. Washington was afrequent 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 until

1783, 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 theland was transferred to the WarDepartment in 1912. In 1915, engineertroops from Washington Barracks, nowFort McNair, established "CampBelvoir" as a rifle range and trainingcamp. The name was changed to CampA.A. Humphreys Dec. 23, 1917, whenthe Corps of Engineers began construc-tion of a major camp during an unusu-ally bitter winter to train engineerreplacements for World War I.

The post was renamed FortHumphreys in 1922 to indicate its per-manent status. In recognition of itscolonial-era significance, it was redes-ignated Fort Belvoir in 1935. From itsestablishment until 1989, Fort Belvoirwas home to the Army's EngineerSchool, training more than 700,000officers and

enlisted soldiers for servicein all major wars and peacekeepingforces worldwide.

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.

BRAC Overview:The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure legisla-

tion was signed into law on Nov. 9, 2005. UnderBRAC law, Fort Belvoir will have a net gain ofapproximately 19,300 military and civilian employees- the largest net gain of any DoD installation.

BRAC 2005 will nearly double the size of FortBelvoir's work force to a total population of 47,000by September 15, 2011 - the federally mandated dateby which BRAC must be completed.

The cost of construction for new facilities, renovat-ed facilities, and infrastructure projects related to theimplementation of BRAC at Fort Belvoir is forecast-ed to cost more than $4 billion.

With all of the BRAC projects now nearing com-pletion, the future appearance of Fort Belvoir isbeginning to take shape. The post will expand toinclude a total of three non-contiguous sites or substa-tions in the region. Non-contiguous Fort Belvoirproperty includes Rivanna Station in Charlottesville,Va.; the Fort Belvoir North Area in Springfield, Va..;and a portion of the Mark Center in Alexandria, Va.;that are now home to three BRAC realigned organiza-tions at Fort Belvoir. They are the DefenseIntelligence Agency's Joint-Use Intelligence AnalysisFacility, the National Geospatial-IntelligenceAgency's New Campus East, and the multipleDefense Department agencies formerly in leasedspace in the National Capital Region, respectively.

To support the increased workforce and missionrequirements, the installation will invest $182 millioninto roads, utilities, communications and base supportfacilities while renovating existing space, buildingnew buildings for incoming tenants, reconfiguring theinstallation, and implementing increased trafficdemand management practices to mitigate traffic con-cerns. During 2010-2011, Gunston, Belvoir, andPohick Roads will be expanded to four lanes toaccommodate Belvoir's growth.

ple recommendations or individual actions. The fol-lowing realignments are associated with FortBelvoir:
