 History of Loudoun County
Loudoun County was once the northwestern frontier of Virginia, a dangerous place to visit until the 1722 Treaty of Albany kept the American Indian nations west of the Blue Ridge.
Loudoun’s agriculture flourished with its rich lands, growing tobacco in the east, and wheat, oats, rye, and corn in the west.
During the Revolutionary War, the county contributed much of its grain to George Washington’s Continental Army, earning it the nickname “Breadbasket of the Revolution.” By 1775, Loudoun County had the largest militia in Virginia, and by the first census in 1790, it was Virginia’s most populous county.

 Loudoun County Passes Historic Zoning Ordinance to Implement Smart Growth - Piedmont Environmental Council
Loudoun's vote is a landmark decision both for its progressive changes and for the translation into law of the new policies, a step many elected officials fail to take.
Loudoun faced the challenge of redefining its 200,000 acres of countryside, which lie west of the four urban communities and the county seat of Leesburg (40 miles west of Washington, DC).
The fundamental change the Loudoun elected officials made is to remove housing as the primary use of undeveloped land outside the towns and villages and to replace housing potential with increased opportunities for land-based enterprises that include both traditional and innovative agriculture and tourism.

 Loudoun County - Virginia and West Virginia Plot Contrasting Paths for Route 9
Road crews from West Virginia and Virginia launched separate projects this week to improve a crowded two-laneroad that connects the states.
Loudoun supervisors said they got the idea of putting a stoplight near the border when they realized that a broad West Virginia highway was to be built straight up to the two-lane leg of Route 9 that cuts through rural western Loudoun.
Virginia considered rebuilding Route 9 as a four-lane road in the early 1990s to ease traffic, but backed off after residents protested that such a change would bring more cars and development.
