Dumfries Magisterial District
The history of the Dumfries district reaches back to the earliest days of our nation. Captain John Smith visited Quantico in 1608. Richard Gibson erected a grist mill on Quantico Creek in 1690. The town of Dumfries was chartered on May 11, 1749 and holds the distinction of being the oldest chartered town in Virginia. In its heyday the port of Dumfries was the second busiest in colonial America, rivaling New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
The Dumfries Magisterial District meets the second Saturday of every month at 9 am. We are currently at:
Congratulations to Mayor Porta and Councilman-Elect Toney
The Prince William County Democratic Committee would like to congratulate our two members that ran for office yesterday. Both members won their races and continue the trend that residents of Prince William County elect more and more Democrats to represent them.
Earnie Porta won his election to serve a second term has the Mayor of Occoquan. William Toney won his election to serve a term on the Dumfries Town Council.
Congratulations again and we look forward to even more Democrats winning elections this fall!

His administration inherited $6 billion in budget shortfalls, and ended with a surplus that allowed the largest single investment in K-12 education in Virginia history, a reinvestment in one of the nation’s premier public college and university systems, and a record investment in cleanup of the nation’s largest estuary: the Chesapeake Bay.

Barack Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. His father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya, where he grew up herding goats with his own father, who was a domestic servant to the British. Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs during the Depression, and then signed up for World War II after Pearl Harbor, where he marched across Europe in Patton's army. Her mother went to work on a bomber assembly line, and after the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through the Federal Housing Program, and moved west to Hawaii.
