The Fan is a historic district of Richmond, Virginia. Mainly a residential neighborhood with late-1800s and early-1900s homes, it was named as such because of the "fan" shape its streets created. The area that is now The Fan was plotted as the village of Sydney in 1817 on land that was previously owned by William Byrd II. However, the area didn't develop much until after the American Civil War. The rural tobacco fields of the 1880s were soon developed into real estate as more people wanted to move into the fashionable "West End" area. By the 1920s, The Fan was fully developed and consisted of a number of single-family homes. A few decades later, a Richmond Times Dispatch editorial coined the area The Fan. On August 13, 1985, it was designated on the Virginia Landmarks Register (NRHP). On September 12, 1985, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)
Today, it is bordered by Broad Street to the north and Virginia Route 195 to the south. The district is ranked number 18 out of all the neighborhoods of Richmond and number 42 out of the neighborhoods in Virginia. It has an exceptional livability score of 82.
