Falls Church: Langston Boulevard - Custis Memorial Parkway
Falls Church has served as a crossroads in Northern Virginia since the colonial era. Near the city, Custis Memorial Parkway is the local name for Interstate 66, a major route between Washington, DC, and Virginia’s Piedmont. Langston Boulevard carries U.S. Route 29 along an older overland corridor through Arlington and Falls Church; Arlington County renamed its section in 2021 for John Mercer Langston, an abolitionist, educator and diplomat. Parallel Metrorail tracks underline how this wooded urban corridor brings together road, rail and local streets. Falls Church takes its name from The Falls Church, an Anglican parish founded in 1732.

Among the regions of the United States, Virginia stands out for its sweep from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. Its varied terrain includes the Shenandoah Valley, the Piedmont of the central counties, and a long Atlantic-facing coast. Richmond, on the James River, is Virginia’s capital and a major centre of American Civil War history; farther east, Jamestown was the site of England’s first permanent settlement in North America, founded in 1607. Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive trace the crest of the Blue Ridge. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Virginia.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
