The First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) was fought July 21, 1861, near Manassas Junction in northern Virginia along Bull Run stream (about 25 miles southwest of Washington, D.C.).
It occurred there because Manassas was a key railroad junction and crossroads leading toward Richmond; both armies moved on the same roads and the Confederates concentrated there to block a Union advance toward the Confederate capital.
