History and Heritage

Over time, especially post–World War II, Merrifield grew alongside Fairfax County’s suburban expansion.
Work and Economy
Merrifield’s economy is closely tied to the broader Fairfax County job market, one of the strongest in the region. Many residents work in technology, healthcare, government contracting, and education.
