In the Commonwealth of Virginia, cities are independent from counties. Stafford County does not have any cities, but rather is home to many small towns and communities. Here are a few of our communities: Aquia, Brooke, Falmouth, Garrisonville, Hartwood, Rock Hill, White Oak, and Widewater. Much of the southern part of our county also retains a Fredericksburg mailing address.
