The Simpson family

The Simpson presence in Alexandria spans four documented generations, rooted in late-nineteenth-century farming and continuing through a century of construction work that has touched every corner of the modern city. The earliest documented generation kept a dairy farm in the area that is now Beacon Mall, on the city’s southern edge before the post-war suburbanization that absorbed it. ^[1] Source 1 Alexandria Legends — Donald Simpson Jr. (2020) Website
