Located only 33 minutes away from downtown Washington, D.C. via I-66 East is Chantilly, Virginia, a census designated place situated in the western portion of Fairfax County. It’s named after a mansion and farm from the 19th century. The name Chantilly comes from a historic château located about 25 miles away from Paris called the Château de Chantilly.

Before the existence of modern-day Chantilly, the area was home to a few large scale 18th century colonial plantations that included the George Richard Lee Turberville "Leeton Grove" Plantation, Sully Plantation, and the Chantilly Plantation. During the American Civil War, the Chantilly Plantation was destroyed when Federal troops set it on fire. The only building that survived the Civil War was a stone house that still sits across from Greenbriar Shopping Center on Route 50. After the Civil War ended, Chantilly began to grow again, and by the 19th century construction was underway near the Little River Turnpike to Winchester.
