In 1852, Manassas Junction, also known Mannassas Gap, was established as a railroad stop between Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia. The name Mannassas may of been taken from Manasseh, a Jewish innkeeper At Manassas Junction. Eventually, the railroad junction developed into a town known as Manassas, Virginia.
