History
Loudoun County is named after Major General John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun (1705-1782). Campbell, a Scottish nobleman, served as Governor General of Virginia (1756-1758) at the time Loudoun County was organized.

Parent County
1757--Loudoun County was created 25 March 1757 from Fairfax County.

Boundary Changes
When Loudoun County was organized, the eastern border was Difficult Run. Officials moved the line further northwest to near Sugarland Run in 1798. The boundary, a straight line, does not follow the stream. This boundary change impacts genealogists, because this land and its occupants, which had originally belonged to Fairfax County, fell under the jurisdiction of Loudoun County for 40 years, from 1757 to 1798, after which time it went back to Fairfax County.

Record Loss
Loudoun County has suffered some record loss. The following records cannot be found:


 * 1) Survey books.
 * 2) A few original wills.
 * 3) Pre-1793 marriage bonds (only "F" groom surname bonds survive). Ministers' returns can be used as a substitute for many of the marriages occurring between 1757 and 1793.
 * 4) One court minute/order book.

Populated Places
The county seat is Leesburg. There are seven incorporated towns: Hamilton, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville, and Round Hill. For more information, see: Towns in Loudoun County, courtesy: Loudoun County, Virginia.

The following post offices have existed in Loudoun County:
