Burke is a thriving suburban community that blends its historical roots with modern living. Located just north of Lorton, it has some of the nicest neighborhoods in the Northern Virginia area. Before it became a suburban city, it was initially part of the Ravensworth tract, a large land grant given to William Fitzhugh in the late 1600s.
The community itself is named after Silas Burke, a 19th-century farmer, merchant, and local politician who built a house on a hill overlooking the valley of Pohick Creek that marks its northeast border. The arrival of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad in the 1850s spurred development beyond farms and ranches, with Burke’s Station becoming an essential stop for travel along the east coast.
Burke, Virginia, is a lively community with various events throughout the year. The Burke Centre Festival is one of the most anticipated each September, with arts and crafts, live music, rides, and refreshments. It's a wonderful way to spend a day with families and attracts people from around Burke and neighboring areas.
Check out the Burke Farmers Market if you love fresh food and local crafts. It happens every week between the train station and Burke Centre Field from April to December. Additionally, the locals can join the very active Burke Historical Society. Local historians offer lectures, workshops, and tours to help Burke residents learn about the area's roots and development over the years.
