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.
