Great Falls, VA (22066) is one of the wealthiest suburbs of Washington, D.C. located along the
Potomac River. Many important and influential people live there. Lots are
large, typically 1/2, 2, 5, or 10 acres and up. Many are zoned for horses
and some of the larger lots have horse riding rings, particularly those
occupied by older homes.Although primarily a bedroom community for Washington, D.C., one major
attraction is Great Falls Park which overlooks the Great Falls of the
Potomac, for which the community and the park are named. George Washington
was involved with building a canal around the falls on the southwest, or
Virginia, side, called the Patowmack canal, which unfortunately did not
become commercially viable. Remnants of the canal and of a village around
the canal are still visible in the park.
River Bend County Park is another pleasant gathering area in Great Falls, as
is the Village Green, which hosts community celebrations around Easter (Egg
Hunt), Fourth of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving (Tree Lighting) and other
holidays.

 Great
Falls Business and Professional Association was founded in 1985 by 5
local business people (Ralph Lazaro, Stephen Dulaney, Michael McCombs,
Hester Nettles and Ursula Sahakian) for the purpose of advancing a strong
relationship between our citizens and our business community. The GFBPA
emphasizes high business and professional ethics and sponsors activities to
encourage our residents to choose business and professional services offered
by our local merchants, in order to understand our mission let’s start
with a definition of community: a community is a group of people living
together in one locality having common interests, characteristics, goals,
needs etc. At the nucleus of a healthy community is a successful business
core, as well as centers of religious and cultural nurturing.
In Great Falls we have a large
proportion of business owners who live in the community. Truly, it is a
privilege to serve our community. Enthusiastically, we work, shop, eat and
worship within the community.
