McLean

McLean is an unincorporated town and census-designated place in Fairfax County.

McLean is named after John R. McLean, who was one of the owners of the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad, an electric trolley line that formerly ran through the town. A stop on the line, between the villages of Lewinsville and Langley, was initially called Ingleside, but later changed to McLean. The disestablishment of the post offices at Lewinsville and Langley and the establishment of one at McLean in 1911 informally combined the two villages into what is now McLean.
