Clifton Homes and Condos for Sale

Clifton, Virginia, was granted incorporation by the General Assembly in 1902 and is one of only three official towns in the state. Prior to European colonization, what is now considered modern-day Clifton was inhabited by the Dogue Native American tribe who are related to the larger Nanticoke tribe who were based on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. During the Civil War, a railroad track was constructed through the area and a station named Devereux Station was established. Not far away a small village began to sprout up. In 1868, the station had its name changed to Clifton Station. The land surrounding Clifton is unique compared to the rest of Northern Virginia as it’s less developed and a lot more rural. This underdevelopment was not accidental - it was done in order to preserve the Occoquan Reservoir. Clifton’s population still remains under 1,000 residents with a select few residential homes built among heavily forested terrain in the southern and eastern portion. The northern parts are mostly used for equestrian activities.
