Brought to life in 1749 by tobacco merchants, Alexandria still has some tobacco plantations on the river's banks. With time it has evolved into a bustling city concerning more than trade, but politicking and social activities.

As a prosperous city, Alexandria goes beyond its developed infrastructure toward such once in a lifetime experiences such as the water taxi that starts from the waterfront at the end of King Street or Big Wheel Bikes at the Old Town. In addition, the city was ranked the "Third Best Arts Destination Among Mid-Size Cities" by AmericanStyle magazine - that places Alexandria at the top of travel list as a destination for artistic inspirations. Due to this it offers a host of arts organizations like Torpedo Factory Art Center and Del Ray Artisans.
