Old Town Alexandria is one of the original settlements of the city of Alexandria, Virginia, and is located about a half hour by car from Washington, D.C., of which it used to make up the southern part.[1] It was the oldest district of D.C. until it was ceded back to Virginia in 1846. Old Town is situated in the eastern and southeastern area of Alexandria along the Potomac River and is laid out on a grid plan of substantially square blocks.
