Fort Belvoir, Military installation in Fairfax County, United States
Fort Belvoir spans across 8,600 acres of land in northern Virginia, functioning as both a military installation and residential area for service members.
Established in 1917 as Camp A. A. Humphreys, the site was renamed Fort Belvoir in 1935 after the former Belvoir plantation of the Fairfax family.
The National Museum of the United States Army at Fort Belvoir presents extensive collections documenting military history from 1775 to the present day.
The installation houses over 51,000 military and civilian personnel, with facilities including the Defense Logistics Agency and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The Fort Belvoir Historic District contains multiple residential areas built between 1919 and 1948, reflecting different periods of military housing development.
