The Alexandria Safe-Zone is a few blocks of cleared streets in Alexandria, Virginia, about six miles from Washington DC. When Rick Grimes' survivor group arrived, Douglas stated that the community had existed for less than a year.[1] Currently, this is the longest lasting location the survivors have lived in.

Background InformationEdit

A man named Alexander Davidson began to build the wall, and later invited his good friend Douglas Monroe to be his co-leader in the society. However, sometime after the wall was built, Davidson began to abuse his power by taking advantage of some of the women in Alexandria and assigning others to dangerous jobs that he himself refused to do. This forced Douglas to do something that he dreaded; he burned a zombie to double as Davidson's body and then banished Davidson to the outside world, which he considers as good as killing him.

After this setback, things in Alexandria seemed to be going smoothly. This peace is temporarily shaken by the arrival of Rick's group to the Safe-Zone. Due to the combined attacks of both Pete and the Marauders, Douglas realizes he can't lead the community as well as he thought. He then resigns his commission and subsequently puts Rick in charge, feeling that Rick would be a far better leader than himself. After the zombie herd attacking the Safe-Zone was defeated, things began to go back to normal until the attempt by Nicholas to take the Safe-Zone away from Rick, who he perceived as a threat to their lives. Rick was able to defuse the situation and calm Nicholas down.

The community is later approached by an outsider named Paul Monroe, who wishes to establish a trade route between the Safe-Zone and several other communities around the area. For some reason, the community still does not grow food even though it would be much easier than scavenging all the time.

Town LayoutEdit

The area runs on an isolated power grid and was put together by the government in case of a major disaster. The power grid does not work the way it was intended, however, as half of the houses do not have hot water and there is not enough power to run the lights all of the time.[2]

The zone originally contained two streets of houses, a meeting house, an armory/storehouse, and infirmary, and was recently expanded by Abraham and Tobin's crew[3] to include more houses, a general store, and a church.

There are under 40 residents of the Safe Zone before Rick Grimes' group arrived,[4] and with their inclusion there are "over sixty" residents.[5]

Rick mentions to Negan the population of the Safe-Zone is now 48-49 residents. Rick also stated that they have up to 20 houses. Issue 103
