Neighborhood Description Great Falls has a heritage rich in American history. The city of some 16,000 residents takes its name from the Great Falls of the Potomac, the largest in a series of treacherous, rocky falls that mark a fault line along which the river drops seventy-five feet over a two mile distance. The main road through Great Falls is Georgetown Pike. More than 300 years ago this road was a buffalo trail winding along the Potomac River. This exclusive horse-oriented community is a fast-growing, upscale residential area limited to single-family homes on lots of at least one half acre. Although the area has undergone considerable growth, Great Falls remains rural in atmosphere. The Early American-style village center features quaint shops and fine restaurants. Falcon Ridge was built in 1979 and is an upscale development of single-family homes on 1 to 5 acre lots.
