The Town of Dumfries is a local government entity in Prince William County, Virginia, charged with delivering municipal services and governing from its Main Street offices. Its history dates to 1690, when a gristmill was built on Quantico Creek, and it was formally chartered in 1749, giving it the distinction of being the oldest continuously chartered town in Virginia. The town sits along Route 1 just off Interstate 95, near Quantico Marine Base and Fort Belvoir. The town covers 1.63 square miles and had about 4,961 residents in the 2010 Census. It is governed by a town council elected at large, consisting of a mayor and six members. In 2026, Dumfries announced participation in a Trades & Career Fair at the Town Hall on April 11, 2026, reflecting ongoing community engagement.
