Clifton, VA

A small civil-war era town in Fairfax County, originally known as Devereux Station in the 1800's. Many battles during the Civil War were fought near this town, such as in Bull Run. The town grew in both size and wealth dramatically in the late 1800's and early 1900's, due to increased tourism, and it's reputation as a Progressive Era town, housing the Ivakota Farm reform school. The town fell into disrepair during the Great Depression, and by the 1960's, had become nearly abandoned. As growth from Burke and Fairfax encroached on the region in the 1970s, laws were established permitting a minimum of 5 acres per home, prohibiting suburban growth in the town. The post-modern movement sought to preserve Northern Virginia's history, leading to revitalized interest in the town. As more and more wealthy residents moved in, home prices in the immediate area began to rise dramatically, and gentrification began in and around the town. In fact, through the 1970's, Clifton became known as a vacation spot for those escaping the stress of D.C., which can be seen in some of the era's homes, which resemble ski lodges. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's, the area surrounding the town became heavily built up, creating a whole new family atmosphere in the town, leading to the creation of events such as Clifton Day, The Clifton Homes Tour, the New Years Eve sleigh ride, The Clifton Car Show, and the Haunted Trail. In the 2000's, the town continued it's rise to become a popular tourist destination for those looking to take a step back to a Victorian-Era town with a history intertwined with the beginnings of Fairfax County. Clifton from it's inception to today is an great example of reinvigorated interest in our Nation's history, and the quintessential story of the small town.

clinton township

Home of the gayest PIGS in the country. Since CT has one of the lowest crime rates in the country the CTPD has nothing better to do but pull over young kids and search them for drugs. Every cop is looking for the next big drug bust. Cops have even been suspected of planting drugs on kids and demanding sexual favors from girls. Some even have sex with North Hunterdon High School students and spread Genital Herpes around the school. If you can avoid CT then by all means do so.
On a brighter note, its home of some of the best public schools in the country. All Blue Ribbon awarded but it is not the best place to raise children. See: Hunterdon County
If your driving past 10 o'clock in Clinton Township and your under 25 and are with friends prepare to be pulled over, grilled with questions, taken out of the car and searched. Not really sure why you would drive around past 10 since there is nothing to do in that town but whatever...
