The crossroads takes its name from Hachaliah Bailey, one of America's first circus showmen, who moved to Northern Virginia in 1837, bought the land around the intersection and made it the winter quarters for his circus.

Hachaliah Bailey's circus enterprise eventually evolved into the Bailey half of the famous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

During the Civil War the crossroads sat behind Confederate lines after the First Battle of Manassas in July 1861, when Confederate forces occupied nearby Munson's Hill overlooking the community and many of its northern-born residents fled to Washington.

The Skyline Center, a roughly 100-acre mixed-use complex of offices, shops and residences, is the dominant development at Bailey's Crossroads, according to Fairfax County's comprehensive plan.

Bailey's Crossroads is one of Fairfax County's most international communities, home to the Culmore neighborhood and the Woodrow Wilson Library, with large Hispanic, Asian and African immigrant populations reflected in its shops and restaurants along Columbia Pike.
