Linton Hall, Virginia

Linton Hall is a census-designated place (CDP) in Prince William County, Virginia, United States, which includes unincorporated Bristow.

[5] The chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors said commutes were especially long for residents during the period studied because the county had not finished building roads to support the new residential areas that had just been built.

Linton's Ford was inherited by Sister Mary Baptista, John Linton's daughter, and upon her death the land was inherited by the Benedictine order for the purpose of educating poor boys and girls.

[7] Over the last century the Benedictine nuns sold most of the school property, primarily to real estate developers, which created the Braemar subdivision, a series of upscale housing developments with a large homeowners association.

While it was the intent of the nuns at Linton Hall to maintain ownership of the cemetery, it was determined that, due to loss of land records for that space during the Civil War (attributed to the burning of the Brentsville Courthouse), the cemetery was "unowned" and remains in this status today.

[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 8.3 square miles (21.4 km2), all of it land.
