Drove up for a concert this past week at the amphitheater in Bristow. We have been there a few times and always get off 95 at Occoquan and usually stay at the Hyatt Fair Lakes. Much of the way from 95 to the Hyatt is on Ox road and there must be 5 or 6 other roads either nearby or intersecting with it that have Ox in the name. Does anyone know why that is?

Not to mention why the heck did they let the developer name 10 roads with variations of Fair Lakes , but at least I can see why that name would be used.

It has to do with Civil War history...look up Battle of Chantilly in Wikipedia.

There are quite a few roads with Lee and/or Jackson in their name too.
