The City of Fairfax is an independent city forming an enclave within the confines of Fairfax County, in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. Although politically independent of the surrounding county, the City is nevertheless the county seat .

Situated in the Northern Virginia region, Fairfax forms part of the Washington Metropolitan Area. The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines Fairfax and the city of Falls Church with Fairfax County for statistical purposes.

The population was 22,565 as of the 2010 Census. Many surrounding communities and developments have a Fairfax postal mailing address.

While the city is the county seat, a small unincorporated portion of the County comprising the courthouse complex, the jail, and a small area nearby is itself an enclave within the city. Fairfax County's Government Center is west of the City of Fairfax in an unincorporated area.

This is the video produced by the Fairfax County Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics - IAFF Local 2068 and distributed to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors prior to finalization of the FY2008 budget. It details the need for increased staffing on Fairfax County ladder trucks directly from those who staff and command them every day. Our hope is that the SAFER Grant application that has been blocked by the County Executive in the past, is allowed to proceed so this vital, safe staffing can be realized!
