Northern Virginia includes six counties, Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties, and six independent cities, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Manassas Park.
The three largest cities of the region are Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Winchester; the counties surrounding these cities (Rockingham, Augusta, and Frederick, respectively) experienced the majority of the Northern Valley's population growth between 1980 and 1988.
