Kingstowne History
Kingstowne had previously been the site of the Leehigh Cement Company’s gravel operation. The land was rezoned in 1984 as a mixed-use development. Local home builders Miller & Smith undertook the project, which was at the time, the second largest rezoning project in Fairfax County’s history.
