==Etymology==
[[File:Woodbridge 2000.gif|thumb|Map of Woodbridge , VA according to US Census Bureau]]

Woodbridge takes its name from a wooden toll bridge built in the [[18th century]] to span the [[Occoquan River]]. The bridge was constructed by [[Thomas Mason (1753–1800)|Thomas Mason]], son of [[George Mason|Founding Father George Mason]], as part of the King’s Highway, a colonial route that connected [[Colonial history of the United States|northern and southern settlements]]. The structure itself was built along the [[Occoquan River|Occoquan]] connecting present day Woodbridge to [[Fairfax County, Virginia|Fairfax County]], it became a recognizable landmark and eventually lent its name to the surrounding communities.<ref name="historicprincewilliam.org">{{Cite web |title=Woodbridge is 200 Years Old! - Historic Prince William |url=https://www.historicprincewilliam.org/county-history/stories/woodbridge-is-200.html |access-date=2022-04-04 |website=www.historicprincewilliam.org}}</ref> Though the term "Woodbridge" does not appear frequently in early records, early [[19th century|19th-century]] maps and land documents identify the bridge and nearby [[ferry |ferry sites]] as key transportation points in [[Prince William County, Virginia|Prince William County]]. The area around the bridge gradually developed into a modest river town-like community, with its growth later influenced by river trade and the expansion of railroad lines later into the [[19th century]].<ref name="archive.gunstonhall.com">{{Cite web |title=GEORGE MASON'S PLANTATIONS & LANDHOLDINGS: WOODBRIDGE |url=http://archive.gunstonhall.com/georgemason/landholdings/woodbridge.html |access-date=2022-06-21 |website=archive.gunstonhall.com}}</ref>

[[United States Census Bureau|The U.S. Census Bureau]] defines Woodbridge as a [[Census-designated place|Census-designated place (CDP)]] limited to a section east of [[Interstate 95]] and north of Rippon Boulevard. [[Prince William County, Virginia|Prince William County]] defines the borders of the Woodbridge Magisterial District along roughly similar lines to that of the [[United States Census Bureau|Census Bureau]] with the addition of most of [[Leesylvania, Virginia|Leesylvania]] and a portion of northern [[Cherry_Hill,_Prince_William_County,_Virginia|Cherry Hill]]. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Woodbridge District Map |url=https://gisdata-pwcgov.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/woodbridge-district-map |access-date=2025-05-06 |website=gisdata-pwcgov.opendata.arcgis.com |language=en-us}}</ref>
Despite these definitions, Woodbridge tends to be used more broadly to include nearby communities such as [[Lake Ridge, Virginia|Lake Ridge]] and [[Dale City, Virginia|Dale City]] and commercial areas such as [[Potomac Mills]] and [[County Center, Virginia|County Center]]. All of these areas reside within Woodbridge [[ZIP Code|ZIP codes]] 22191, 22192, and 22193.<ref>{{cite web |last1=US Postal Service |first1=US Post |title=Woodbridge, VA |url=https://www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/ |website=United States Zip Codes . org |publisher=United States Postal |access-date=21 April 2025}}</ref> Originally part of a larger land grant, the area became more residential during the post–[[World War II]] suburban expansion of the [[Washington metropolitan area|Washington, D.C. metropolitan region]]. 

==History==
Woodbridge was initially a village composed largely of plantations and later farms and industrial complexes. Formally dating to at least 1731 when Prince William County was formed out of the [[Stafford County, Virginia]]. Initially, the first Prince William County Courthouse was erected in Woodbridge owing to its location halfway between [[Dumfries, Virginia]] and [[Alexandria, Virginia]], the two largest Cities which were then in Prince William County.<ref name="historicprincewilliam.org"/> With the incorporation of [[Fairfax County, Virginia]], Woodbridge ceased to be the center of the county and municipal function eventually shifted westward into [[Brentsville, Virginia|Brentsville]] and eventually to [[Manassas, Virginia|Manassas]] where it is today.

Later, the Woodbridge postal delivery area became the hub that included Dale City and Lake Ridge, which had previously been forged as a planned community in the 1960s and 1970s. The area takes its name from [[Thomas Mason (1770–1800)|Thomas Mason]]'s 1795 wooden toll bridge built to supplant the existing ferry, carrying the [[King's Highway (Charleston to Boston)|King's Highway]] traffic across the [[Occoquan River]]. Mason's [[Woodbridge (plantation)|Woodbridge Plantation]] was located in the area of the present day [[Belmont Bay]] [[golf course community]]. The original bridge from which the area takes its name was washed away in 1807 following a heavy storm.<ref name="archive.gunstonhall.com"/> Subsequently, industrial and economic development shifted toward [[Occoquan, Virginia|Occoquan]] the next nearest river crossing. The bridge would not be replaced until the 20th century when an iron truss bridge was built. This bridge failed in 1972 during [[Hurricane Agnes]] and was eventually replaced by the current structure.

Woodbridge is about {{convert|20|mi|km|0}} from Washington, D.C.

The 2010 census reconfigured Woodbridge so that the majority of its land area was redesignated [[Marumsco, Virginia|Marumsco]] and [[Neabsco, Virginia]]. The southern border of Woodbridge was now Occoquan Road, with the area between Occoquan Road and Opitz Boulevard–Rippon Boulevard being part of Marumsco. All of the former Woodbridge CDP south of Marumsco was designated as Neabsco. However, the areas continued to be addressed Woodbridge.<ref name=wp>{{cite news|title=Welcome to Woodbridge. Er, make that... Marumsco?|first=Carol|last=Morello |newspaper=Washington Post|page=B1|date=February 11, 2011}}</ref> At the 2020 census, the Marumsco CDP was reincorporated into the Woodbridge CDP, and Neabsco was renamed Leesylvania.

== Attractions and culture==
{{Refimprove|section|date=May 2025}}
Woodbridge experienced its current development boom in the mid-1980s, after being a municipality composed largely of either farms or industrial complexes, as an annex of sorts of [[Dale City, Virginia|Dale City]], which had been forged as a planned community in the 1960s and 1970s.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Woodbridge is home to [[Potomac Mills (shopping mall)|Potomac Mills Mall]] (managed by [[Simon Property Group]]), one of the largest shopping centers in northern Virginia. Woodbridge is a suburban city because many of its residents are employed in nearby Washington, D.C.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Due in part to the I-95 and I-66 [[HOV]] waiver given to hybrid vehicles, many D.C. government workers have relocated to the area to take advantage of the lower-priced housing.  However, in July 2006, the hybrid/HOV privilege was revoked.  Vehicles registered prior to July 2006 were exempted from occupancy requirements in all (HOV) facilities in Virginia until July 1, 2009.{{cn|date=May 2025}}

Other cultural resources include [[Rippon Lodge]], one of the oldest houses in Prince William County, which was opened as a park and museum in October 2007.{{cn|date=May 2025}}
