Talk:City of Fairfax

Weird history -- Chuckhoffmann 11:10, 28 February 2012 (EST)
The Town of Fairfax was evidently incorporated twice. I was looking for a source to back up my citation that the town of Fairfax was renamed in 1874, and came across the following:
 * Acts of Assembly, 1874-5 Chap. 47, p. 36, "An ACT to incorporate the town of Fairfax, in the county of Fairfax." Approved January 15, 1875. http://books.google.com/books?id=uhQSAAAAYAAJ&vq=Fairfax&pg=PA36#v=onepage&q&f=false
 * Acts of Assembly, 1891-92 Chap. 282, P. 464, "An ACT to incorporate the town of Fairfax, in the county of Fairfax." Approved February 16, 1892. http://books.google.com/books?id=VxgSAAAAYAAJ&dq=Acts%20General%20Assembly%20Virginia%201873&pg=PP2#v=onepage&q=Fairfax&f=false

So I have two dates of incorporation, neither one in 1874, and no date of name change. Weird.--Chuckhoffmann 11:10, 28 February 2012 (EST)
