Yes, it is pretty strange. As I understand it, true "cities" in Virginia 
cannot also be part of counties. Falls Church is *geographically* in 
Fairfax County, but it's not part of the county.

But then there's the town of Vienna, which *is* in Fairfax County but also
has a distinct (incorporated?) identity.
