In its early days, Gainesville used to serve as a changing point for stagecoach horses on the Fauquier and Alexandria Turnpike. The area had two other names – Middle Grounds (due to its location between Broad Run and Bull Run) and New Stable (from the stable that was erected). Thomas Brawner Gaines became a major landowner in the area, purchasing land as early as 1835. He sold the right-of-way through his land to the Manassas Gap Railroad in in 1850. The Gainesville train depot was named after him, and a small community with a post office developed by 1856. Today, Gainesville is a dynamic suburb full of both residential and commercial opportunities in Prince William County.

“We were referred to this moving service by our realtor after selling our home and enjoyed working with them from the start.
The representative from American Moving was very generous with his time during the virtual walk through of the home. He advised on the storage unit size and his recommendation was spot on. He also offered several useful tips for purchasing packing materials ahead of time to cut down our costs and ensure our items would be protected.
The moving crew arrived on time and was professional and efficient. These guys were definitely experienced. Also, they did some very impressive furniture tetris to maximize the available space in the storage unit we rented (we ended up fitting more than planned as a result).
Overall, I’d definitely work with American Moving and Storage again and would recommend them if you’re in the market for movers!”
