The Town of Warrenton, the county seat and largest town in Fauquier County, is located in the upper Piedmont region of Virginia, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although its area covers just 4.25 square miles, Warrenton is a town replete with economic activity, and offers a broad array of housing options for its citizens.

 

Situated in the midst of Fauquier County's unparalleled rural landscape - with its abundant farming and long tradition of equestrian activity - the Town of Warrenton offers the inviting charm and experience of a genuine downtown, the convenience and service of a growing retail and office commercial district, and the job and high tech development opportunities of a high quality industrial corridor.

 

Originally settled as a community literally at the "crossroads" of major transportation routes, today's Warrenton continues to offer excellent access to major trade markets, along with close proximity to the nation's capital and Northern Virginia's many cultural, educational, and recreational amenities.

 

Mayor George Fitch has launched the most ambitious Green Initiative for any community with a goal of reducing the carbon footprint by 25% by 2015. The centerpiece of his initiative is to produce green electricity and fuel from the wastes and residues that are being discarded or buried in a hole at the landfill emitting greenhouse gases. The waste to energy plant will show that communities as small as Warrenton and Fauquier County can attract private companies to finance and build a biorefinery using different wastes found in the backyard of a community. It is a model for local energy independence and sustainability.

 

A progressive community with a proud tradition of excellence, Warrenton is well-positioned for meeting the challenges and embracing the opportunities of the 21st century.
