Newington

The landscape around Newington is gently rolling, wooded suburban terrain on northern Virginia’s Piedmont, which has shaped both its low-density development and economy tied to the Washington metropolitan area. The community lies in Fairfax County near Accotink Creek, whose waters reach the Potomac River through Accotink Bay. Road and rail corridors place Newington between Springfield and Fort Belvoir, connecting it closely with the capital region. Fort Belvoir, the U.S. Army post that grew from Camp A. A. Humphreys, established in 1917, remains a major nearby institution. Newington is primarily residential and commercial rather than a compact historic town, with wooded stream valleys still breaking up the built environment.
