Bristow Community & Home Information

Often confused with Bristol, the Bristow community has had many names including Briscoe, Bristoe, Bristoe Station, and Bristow Station. The Board on Geographic Names officially decided upon Bristow as the community's name in 1906.

Along with most of Prince William County, Bristow has a rich heritage that dates back to the Civil War. The majority of the Bristow area was previously part of the Linton's Ford plantation, owned by the Linton family from the 18^th century. In the late 1800s the property was donated to the Roman Catholic Church to establish schools for underprivileged students. In 1922, Linton Hall Military School (now known as Linton Hall School) was founded. In the late 20^th century, much of the original property was sold to developers.

The Bristow area has residential housing communities all along Linton Hall Road including Bridlewood, Bridlewood Manor, Brookside, Crossman Creek, Foxborough, Kingsbrooke, New Bristow Village, Lanier Farms, Saybrooke, Sheffield Manor, Amberleigh Station, and Victory Lakes.
