Bristow

Bristow is an unincorporated community in Prince William County, Virginia, located between Manassas and Gainesville. The area comprises residential subdivisions and shopping centers that form a suburban community.

The area was part of Linton's Ford plantation in the 18th century, and two major Civil War battles took place here in 1862 and 1863. These conflicts marked significant moments in the region's past.

Jiffy Lube Live serves as a central hub where the community gathers for outdoor concerts and seasonal events throughout the year. The venue has become a social gathering place where locals spend time together and celebrate entertainment.

The Virginia Railway Express station provides train connections to Washington D.C. for commuters, while Routes 28 and 234 are the main roads through the area. Visitors should plan around peak traffic times on these corridors.

The Brentsville Courthouse Historic Centre preserves five 19th-century structures including a courthouse, jail, church, farmhouse, and schoolhouse. These buildings offer a rare look at daily life from that era.
