A much larger number of people reside in Greater Falls Church and use Falls Church as their mailing address. The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the city of Falls Church (along with Fairfax City) with Fairfax County for statistical purposes. Although two stations on the Washington Metro subway system have "Falls Church" in their names, neither is in the City of Falls Church. (One is in Arlington County and the other is in Fairfax County.)
Falls Church is the smallest county-level political subdivision in the United States by area and, obviously, the smallest by size in Virginia. The smallest independent city by population in Virginia is the City of Norton.
While parts of neighboring Fairfax County share the Falls Church mailing address, the city remains an independent city. Falls Church also borders Arlington County.
The church from which the city takes its name was first built in 1734 of wood. George Washington was one of the churchwardens. On December 17, 2006, the church voted to break away from the Episcopal Church and join the Church of Nigeria under Archbishop Peter Akinola. This was set in motion by the Episcopalians' consecration of Gene Robinson, an openly gay man, as Bishop of New Hampshire.
