A moving company, also known as a removalist or van line, is a company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with relocating their goods from one location to another. Moving companies may offer additional or all-inclusive services for relocations, like packing, loading, moving, unloading, unpacking, and arranging of items to be shifted. Additional services may include cleaning services for houses, offices or warehousing facilities.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2007, 40 million United States citizens had moved annually over the previous decade.^[1] Of these movers, 84.5% relocated within their own state, 12.5% moved to another state, and 2.3% moved to another country.^[2]

The U.S. Department of Defense is the largest household goods shipper in the world with the Personal Property Program accounting for 20% of all moves.^[3]

A 2020 OnePoll survey showed that 64% of participants consider their recent move to be one of the most stressful events they have ever encountered.^[4]

In the U.S. and Canada, the cost for long-distance moves is generally determined by several factors:

• Weight of the items to be moved
• Distance between the original and new location
• Speed of the move
• Timing of the move, including the specific time of year or month

Some movers also offer consolidated shipping, which reduces costs by transporting several clients' items in the same shipment.

In the United Kingdom and Australia, the price is based on the volume of the items rather than their weight.^[5] Some movers may offer flat rate pricing.

The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY moving. Individuals or families may rent a truck or trailer large enough to transport their household goods. They may also acquire moving equipment such as dollies, furniture pads, and cargo belts to facilitate the move and protect their belongings.

The moving process also involves finding or buying materials such as boxes, paper, tape, and bubble wrap with which to pack boxable and/or protect fragile household goods and to consolidate the carrying and stacking on moving day. Self-service moving companies offer another viable option: the person moving buys space on one or more trailers or shipping containers. These containers are then driven by professionals to the new location.

Fairfax, Virginia (/ˈfɛərfæks/ FAIR-faks),^[a] is an independent city in Virginia and the county seat of Fairfax County, Virginia, in the United States.^[4] As of the 2020 census, the population was 24,146.^[5]

Fairfax is part of both the Washington metropolitan area and Northern Virginia regions. It is located 14 miles (23 km) west of Washington, D.C. Fairfax is served by Washington Metro's Orange Line through its Vienna station, which is a mile northeast of Fairfax. CUE Bus and Metrobus operate in Fairfax, and Virginia Railway Express's Burke Centre station is located three miles southeast of Fairfax.

George Mason University, located in unincorporated Fairfax County along Fairfax's southern border, is the largest public university in Virginia with 40,185 students as of 2023.^[6]

Fairfax was founded on land originally occupied by the Iroquoian Native American tribe.^[7] The city derives its name from Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who was awarded 5,000,000 acres (20,000 km²) of land in northern Virginia by King Charles.^[8] The area that the city now encompasses was settled in the early 18th century by farmers from Virginia's Tidewater region.^[9] The town of "Providence" was established on the site by an act of the state legislature in 1805.^[10]

On June 1, 1861, the first land battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Fairfax Court House, was fought in Fairfax after a Union Army scouting party clashed with the local militia; the outcome was indecisive with neither side gaining advantage. A second battle took place in Fairfax two years later, on June 27, 1863, in which Union troops were defeated, which delayed the movements of Confederate cavalry chief Jeb Stuart with disastrous consequences for Robert E. Lee at the subsequent Battle of Gettysburg, the Civil War's bloodiest battle, which began several days later.^[11]

In 1859, Fairfax was renamed the "Town of Fairfax".^[10] It was incorporated as a town in 1874.^[10] It was incorporated as a city in 1961 by court order.^[10] Under Virginia law the city was separated from Fairfax County yet remains the county seat.^[12]

In 1904, a trolley line connected Fairfax with Washington, D.C.^[13]

The former Fairfax County Courthouse is the oldest historic building in Fairfax. The first Fairfax courthouse was established in 1742 near present-day Tysons Corner, and is the namesake for Old Courthouse Road.^[14] It intersects with Gallows Road, which today is a major commuter route, but at the time was the road where condemned prisoners were led to the gallows at the old courthouse.^[15]

In 1752, the courthouse was moved to Alexandria, which offered to build the new courthouse at their own expense. The reason the courthouse was moved from the Tysons Corner location was because of "Indian hostilities", as noted on the stone marker at the northwest corner of Gallows Road and Route 123. The courthouse operated there until 1790, when Virginia ceded the land where the courthouse was located for the creation of Washington, D.C. The General Assembly specified that the new courthouse should be located in the center of the county, and was established at the corner of what was Old Little River Turnpike and is present-day Main Street and Ox Road at Chain Bridge Road on land donated by town founder Richard Ratcliffe.^[16] The courthouse changed hands repeatedly during the American Civil War. The first Confederate officer battle casualty, John Quincy Marr, occurred on the grounds of the courthouse.^[17] The first meeting of the Fairfax Court was held April 21, 1800.^{[18]: 45â€ÅÂÂÂ} 

The oldest two-story building in Fairfax, the Fairfax Public School^[b] was built in 1873 for $2,750.^[19] In addition to elementary school use, the building has also housed special education, adult education, and police academy training.^{[20][21]: 144â€ÅÂÂÂ} 

On July 4, 1992, the building became the Fairfax Museum and Visitor Center.^{[21]: 156–157â€ÅÂÂÂ}  Joseph Edward Willard built the town hall building in 1900 then gifted it to the then town in 1902.^[22]

The Old Town Hall now houses the Huddleston Library and the Fairfax Art League.^[23]

Old Town Fairfax has undergone an extensive redevelopment, which began in 2005.^[35] The redevelopment added a new Fairfax Regional Library, more than 45,000 square feet (4,200 m²) of retail and restaurant space, more than 70,000 square feet (6,500 m²) of office condominiums, and 85 upscale residential condominium units.^[36]

In May 2009, Fairfax was rated as No. 3 in the "Top 25 Places to Live Well" by Forbes Magazine.^[37] Forbes commended Fairfax for its strong public school system, high median salary, and a rate of sole proprietors per capita that ranks it in the top 1 percent nationwide. According to the magazine, "These factors are increasingly important in a recession. When businesses and jobs retract, as they have nationwide, municipalities with strong environments for start-ups, and those that offer attractive amenities, are better suited to recover from economic downtimes, as there are more business activity filling the void."

According to the city's 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report,^[38] the top employers in the city are:

On August 4, 2016, then-Mayor Scott Silverthorne was arrested in a sting operation conducted by the Fairfax County Police Department. After receiving a tip that he was involved in drugs-related activities online, a police detective engaged Silverthorne on an online website "...used to arrange for casual sexual encounters between men."^[51] The detective then arranged a meeting with Silverthorne and two other men, in which they agreed to exchange methamphetamine. At the meeting in Tysons, detectives performed the exchange and then arrested Silverthorne along with the two other men. He was charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.^[51] He announced his resignation on Monday, August 8, 2016, in a letter to the City Council.^[52]

In 1972, following several name changes, the institution became George Mason University.^[60] The university is most known for its programs in economics, law, creative writing, computer science, and business.^[61] George Mason University faculty have twice won the Nobel Prize in Economics.
