Manassas Gap is a wind gap of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the border of
Fauquier
County
and Warren County
in Virginia
. At
an elevation of 887 feet above sea level, it is the lowest crossing
of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the state.
The
Manassas Gap Railroad was
completed through this pass in 1854, and today, the tracks form a
part of the
Norfolk Southern rail
system.
VA Route 55 and
Interstate 66 also pass through Manassas Gap.
In addition the north-south
Appalachian Trail crosses the gap as
well.
Virginia's
independent cities of Manassas
and Manassas Park
derived their names from the railroad which was
built through Manassas Gap.
