Gravelly Point is an area within the National Park Service's George Washington Memorial Parkway in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States.

In 1746, a house, on a plantation later named Abingdon, existed near Gravelly Point on property that Gerrard Alexander owned. The name of Alexandria, Virginia, commemorates Alexander's family.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?MarkerID=8378 ) ''in'' W., Kevin, Stafford, Virginia (2008-06-17).
