A Brief History of Wolf Trap, Virginia

Early records of Fairfax County show that wolves ran wild in the area we know today as Wolf Trap and that it was a popular area to trap wolves for bounty. As the years went by and more people populated the land, wolves became less prevalent, and ceased to be the menace they once were. In August, 1739, J.M. Warner was surveying land and  "Wolf Trap Creek,"  a branch of Difficult Run, appeared on his survey . The name Wolf Trap, therefore, has been a part of Virginia’s history for nearly 260 years. In 1930, Catherine Filene Shouse purchased approximately 53 acres of this land to begin with and chose to retain this historical name. By 1956, her parcels of this land totaled 168 acres.

She bought the land primarily to give her children a chance on weekends to escape the hectic pace of Georgetown, Washington DC. They grew corn, wheat, alfalfa, and oats to provide food for their chickens, ducks, turkeys, and milk cows. They also raised horses and built a stable and hay barn to accommodate them. Eventually, they operated a kennel that produced champion boxers, miniature pinchers, and Weimaraner dogs. Wanting to share nature with her friends, she often held informal lawn suppers and carnivals on the farm.
