Lake Barcroft is a census-designated place (CDP) in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The population was 9,558 at the 2010 census. It is furthermore the make known of the privately owned lake—part of the Cameron Run Watershed—around which this population is located. The lake is named for Dr. John W. Barcroft, who owned and operated a mill on Holmes Run during the mid-19th century.
In 1913, the Alexandria Water Company began construction of the Lake Barcroft Dam upon Holmes Run to Make a drinking water reservoir for the city of Alexandria. Construction of the dam was completed in 1915, putting a 620 million-gallon reservoir into service. In 1942, the company installed 24 gates at the top of the dam to raise the spillway height five feet, increasing the reservoir size to 800 million gallons.
In 1949, the City of Alexandria began to charm its drinking water from the Occoquan Reservoir. A year later, Colonel Joseph Barger and Associates purchased the reservoir, dam, and 680 adjacent acres of house for $1 million from the Alexandria Water Company. A year later, Barger and Associates began developing the 680 acres (2.8 km) into a residential community. During the prematurely 1950s, residents formed a homeowners membership called the Lake Barcroft Community Association (LABARCA). In 1970, community residents purchased the lake, dam, and common grounds for $300,000, and time-honored the Barcroft Lake Management Association (BARLAMA).
In 1972, Hurricane Agnes passed greater than the area. The hurricane caused suitably much rain that the lake level rose above the top of the dam by 3 feet (0.91 m). This resulted in the lake overflowing and eroding the western, earthen shoulder of the dam. The rush of water deepened the washout, but the slow erosion protected downstream interests from the wall of water that would have resulted from a total dam collapse.
