The seal and arms of Fairfax County, Virginia, are drawn from the arms of Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, whose own personal arms were quarterly of the aforementioned in the first and fourth, and Argent, a bend engrailed Gules, the arms of his mother's house of Colepeper (for which the town of Culpepper, Virginia is named) in the second and third. Lord Fairfax administered, as of 1719, the Northern Neck Proprietary of the Virginia Colony, and was the only resident peer in late colonial America. Fairfax county is considered to have been founded officially in 1742, and the seal was adopted as such in 1963.
The flag consists of the seal, centered on a blue field, with a gold border.
