Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
is Loudoun County, Virginia. Though much of the county
retains its rural charm with small, picturesque towns
and villages, it features many of the amenities
associated with a large metropolitan area and is
within an hour's drive of Washington, DC.
Loudoun County constitutes a part of the five million
acre Northern Neck of Virginia Proprietary granted by
King Charles II of England to seven noblemen in 1649.
This grant, later known as the Fairfax Proprietary,
lay between the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers.
Between 1653 and 1730, Westmoreland, Stafford and
Prince William counties were formed within the
Proprietary, and in 1742 the remaining land was
designated Fairfax County.
Today, Loudoun County is a growing, dynamic county of
about 185,000 people. Loudoun is known for its
beautiful scenery, rich history, healthy diversity of
expanding business opportunities, comfortable
neighborhoods, and high quality public services.
