The area takes its name from Thomas Mason’s 1795 wooden toll bridge built to supplant the existing ferry, carrying the King’s Highway traffic across the Occoquan River. Mason’s Woodbridge Plantation was in the area of the present-day Belmont Bay golf course community.

Woodbridge was a village composed largely of either farms or industrial complexes. Later, the Woodbridge postal delivery area became the hub that included Dale City and Lake Ridge, which had previously been forged as a planned community in the 1960s and 1970s.
Woodbridge offers a variety of amenities for residents and visitors, including the Potomac Mills shopping mall and the Stonebridge at Potomac Town Centre Shopping Centers. Woodbridge is served by the Prince William County Public Schools, and the Woodbridge campus of Northern Virginia Community College borders the district.
