Shopping Kohl’s Springfield is a Capital Idea

Somewhere between the years 1796 and 1800, a sawmill and a gristmill were built in the area that is now Springfield in Fairfax County, Virginia. The area remained a largely rural crossroads for over a century. You can still see those rural roots on display at the one-room Sydenstricker School, an old schoolhouse that appears on the National Register of Historic Places. The town we know as Springfield, VA, today didn’t begin to truly develop until the opening of Interstate 95/395, known at the time as Henry Shirley Highway. One of the last available open tracts of land around the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area at the time, Springfield quickly grew into a bustling suburb.

The opening of the Springfield Town Center mall, previously known as the Springfield Mall, in 1973 turned Springfield into a retail destination for northern Virginia. No trip to Springfield for shopping is complete, however, without a stop to Kohl’s Springfield in nearby Kingstowne, VA. Conveniently located in Kingstowne Towne Center at the corner of South Van Dorn Street and Kingstowne Boulevard, Kohl’s Springfield is your northern Virginia destination for deals on clothing, accessories, home goods and more. So if you find yourself in the neighboring communities of Winslow Hills, York Manor, Windsor Estates, Franconia, or Rose Hill, be sure to stop into Kohl’s Springfield soon.
