It is not.

Falls Church, Fairfax City, and Alexandria are independent cities.

Then there's Arlington county, which consists entirely of the city
of Arlington.

All of these were part of Fairfax County a long time ago (before 1790).

The towns of Vienna, Herndon, and Clifton are part of Fairfax County.

Unfortunately, postal addresses don't follow these boundaries very
well, which is what the first poster was complaining about -- Fairfax
Hospital is not in the city of Falls Church, but has a Falls Church
mailing address.
