Centreville Homes and Condos for Sale

Centreville is a suburb approximately 34 minutes away from Washington, D.C. via I-66 East. During the Colonial Period, the area was known as Newgate after a famous tavern of the same name owned by a man named William Carr Lane. It’s also said that the area was called Newgate because it was viewed as the “new gate” to the western territories. In the late 1780s, local landowners petitioned the Virginia General Assembly to establish a town. The assembly finally formed the town of Centerville in 1792. Later on, the spelling was changed to Centreville. As the Civil War went underway, the small town served as a well-fortified depot for both sides at different times during the war. Between 1861 and 1862, the first railroad was explicitly built for military use. During the beginning of the turn of the millennium, there was a boom in population as an influx of companies and corporations began to move to Centreville.
