Tysons, Census-designated place in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States.
Tysons stretches across an elevated area at 148 meters above sea level between McLean and Vienna along Interstate 495 in Northern Virginia.
The location transformed from Peach Grove to Tysons Crossroads after William Tyson purchased land and managed the local post office from 1854 to 1866.
The region has developed from a rural intersection with fruit stands into Northern Virginia's central business district with multiple shopping centers and corporate offices.
Four Washington Metro Silver Line stations provide transportation access throughout the area, connecting residents to the greater Washington metropolitan region.
The opening of Tysons Corner Center in 1968 marked a significant milestone as it held the distinction of being the largest enclosed shopping mall worldwide.
