Burke VA History
Burke VA has an interesting history that stretches back to the home of Silas Burke, built in 1824 (and still standing today). Burke was a farmer, a merchant and a politician who first gave the area its name in the form of “Burke’s Station” when the Orange and Alexandria Railroad built a station at the base of the hill where Burke’s house stood. In 1852, the small community that had sprung up around the station had its first post office established. The Civil War made the railroad a target and Burke was the site of a disgruntled General J.E.B. Stuart, who complained about the mules he had seized in a telegram to the Union Quartermaster. In 1903, the name was officially changed from “Burke’s Station” to “Burke” and has remained as such for over 100 years.
Burke remained largely a rural area until well into the 20th century. Kings Park, developed in 1960, was the first large subdivision built in Burke. However, it was not until Burke Center was built in 1976 that construction really took off and the area was changed from a rural community to a bustling suburb of Washington D.C.
