From late 1938 through July 1940, Manassas served as Prince William County ’s ‘Gretna Green,’ issuing thousands of instant marriage licenses to couples from Washington , D.C. , the Mid-Atlantic States, New England and beyond. Although Virginia imposed restrictions on immediate marriages beginning in August 1940, the United States ’ entry into World War II spurred another wave of non-resident marriages as women from all over the country traveled to Quantico to wed their servicemen. The article links to a new online database of Prince William County Marriages, 1938-1943; www.pwcgov.org/library/digitallibrary.
