Some of these people include the former King of Rwanda, Kigeli V of Rwanda, the executive editor of Baseball America, Jim Callis, and author and former astronaut, Thomas David Jones. But before the country’s millionaires and billionaires called modern-day Oakton home, these land were nothing but wilderness inhabited by a Native American tribe rarely heard of in the history books. They were an Algonquian-speaking sub-group called the Taux and were the civilization documented by the English explorer Captain John Smith in his travel logs in 1608. Other tribes that shared the area were the Namassingakent and Nemaroughquand. In 1742, Fairfax County was established and named for Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron.
