Loudoun County (/ˈlaʊdən/) is a county in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. In 2015, the population was estimated at 375,629,[3] making it Virginia's third-most populous county. Loudoun County's seat is Leesburg.[4] Loudoun County is part of the Washington–Arlington–Alexandria, DC–VA–MD–WV Metropolitan Statistical Area.

As of 2012, Loudoun County had a median household income of $117,876. Since 2008, the county has been ranked first in the U.S. in median household income among jurisdictions with a population of 65,000 or more.[5]

History

Loudoun County was established in 1757 from Fairfax County. The county is named for John Campbell, Fourth Earl of Loudoun and Governor General of Virginia from 1756–59.[2] Western settlement began in the 1720s and 1730s with Quakers, Scots-Irish, Germans and others moving south from Pennsylvania and Maryland and by English and African slaves moving upriver from Tidewater.

By the time of the American Revolution, it was Virginia's most populous county. It was also rich in agriculture, and the county's contributions of grain to George Washington's Continental Army, earned it the nickname "Breadbasket of the Revolution."[6]

During the War of 1812, important Federal documents and government archives were evacuated from Washington and stored at Leesburg. Local tradition holds that these documents were stored at Rokeby House, making Leesburg briefly the capital of the United States.

U.S. President James Monroe treated Oak Hill Plantation as a primary residence from 1823 until his death on July 4, 1831.[7] The Loudoun County coat of arms and flag, granted by the English College of Arms, memorialize the special relationship between Britain and the United States that developed through his Monroe Doctrine.

Early in the American Civil War, the Battle of Balls Bluff took place near Leesburg on October 21, 1861. Future jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. was critically wounded in that battle along the Potomac River. During the Gettysburg Campaign in June 1863, Confederate Major General J.E.B. Stuart and Union cavalry clashed in the battles of Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville. Confederate partisan John S. Mosby based his operations in Loudoun and adjoining Fauquier County (for a more in-depth account of the history of Loudoun County during the Civil War, see Loudoun County in the American Civil War).

In 1962, Washington Dulles International Airport was built in southeastern Loudoun County in Sterling. Since then, Loudoun County has experienced a high-tech boom and rapid growth. Accordingly, many have moved to eastern Loudoun and become residents of planned communities such as Sterling Park, Sugarland Run, Cascades, and Ashburn Farm, making that section a veritable part of the Washington suburbs. Others have moved to the county seat or to the small towns and rural communities of the Loudoun Valley.[6]

Government and politics

The scenic byways of Loudoun County are spotted with historical structures predating the American Civil War.

The county's official motto, I Byde My Time, is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Earl of Loudoun.[1][8]

In the late 20th century, as northerners gradually migrated to Southern suburbs, Loudoun County increasingly shifted to the Republican Party in supporting presidential candidates, and more local ones. But that may be changing with changing demographics. Before the 2008 election of Barack Obama, county voters had not supported a Democrat for President since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

In recent years, the county's rapid growth in its eastern portion, settled by educated professionals working in or near Washington, D.C., has changed the demographics, and the Democratic Party has become increasingly competitive in the county. After giving Senator Barack Obama nearly 54% of its presidential vote in 2008, the county supported Republican Bob McDonnell in 2009, who received 61% of the gubernatorial vote. Voters also replaced two incumbent Democratic delegates, making Loudoun's state House delegation all-Republican. In 2012 county voters again supported Obama, who took 51.5% of the vote, with Republican challenger Mitt Romney garnering 47%.[9]

Democrats carried the county again in the 2016 presidential election, when Loudoun swung heavily towards Hillary Clinton, giving her 55.1% to Trump's 38.2%.[10]

County Board of Supervisors

Like many counties in Virginia, Loudoun is locally governed by a board of supervisors, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. The Chairman of the Board is elected by county voters at-large while the remaining supervisors are elected from eight single-member districts roughly equal in population. All nine members serve concurrent terms of four years. The board handles policy issues and sets the budget; it appoints a County Administrator to handle the county government's day-to-day operations.[12] As of the 2015 elections, the Chairman of the Board and two district supervisors are Democrats; the remaining six supervisors are Republican.[13]

The 2003 board, and other officials in Loudoun, was the subject of a federal investigation of possible corruption relating to a land deal involving the Royal Saudi Academy.[14]

In November 2007, voters removed four incumbent, fiscally conservative Republicans from the Board of Supervisors in a backlash over rapid development in the county's eastern portion. The Board's make-up after the election was five Democrats, two Republicans, and two Independents.[15]

In November 2011, Republicans were elected to all nine seats on the Board.[16] In 2015 three were replaced by Democrats.

On September 6, 2015, Broad Run Supervisor Shawn M. Williams resigned after his arrest for assault.[17]

In November 2017, voters replaced three of the four Republican state Delegates with Democrats, leaving only a sole Republican Delegate representing the county in Richmond.

Economy

Traditionally a rural county, Loudoun's population has grown dramatically since the 1980s. Having undergone heavy suburbanization since 1990, Loudoun has a full-fledged service economy. It is home to world headquarters for several Internet-related and high tech companies, including Verizon Business, Telos Corporation, Orbital Sciences Corporation, and Paxfire. Like Fairfax County's Dulles Corridor, Loudoun County has economically benefited from the existence of Washington Dulles International Airport, the majority of which is in the county along its border with Fairfax.[20][21]

Loudoun County retains a strong rural economy. The equine industry has an estimated revenue of $78 million. It is home to the Morven Park International Equestrian Center which hosts national horse trials. In addition, a growing wine industry has produced several internationally recognized wines. Loudoun now has 40 wineries[22] and over 25 active farms. Loudoun has rich soil and was in the mid-19th century a top wheat-producing county in the fourth largest wheat-producing state.[23]

MCI, Inc. (formerly WorldCom), a subsidiary of Verizon Communications, is headquartered in Ashburn, Loudoun County. It announced it would move its headquarters to Ashburn in 2003.[24][25] AOL had its headquarters at 22000 AOL Way in Dulles in unincorporated Loudoun County.[26] In 2007 AOL announced it would move its headquarters from Loudoun County to New York City; it would continue to operate its Virginia offices.[27] Orbital Sciences Corporation has its headquarters in Dulles.[28]

Before its dissolution, Independence Air (originally Atlantic Coast Airlines) was headquartered in Dulles.[29][30] At one time Atlantic Coast Airlines had its headquarters in Sterling.[31] Before its dissolution, MAXjet Airways was headquartered on the grounds of Washington-Dulles International Airport.[32]

Demographics

From 1890 to 1940, the county had a decline in population as people moved to cities for more opportunities. The decline was likely highest among African Americans, who had worked in an agricultural economy that was becoming increasingly mechanized. During the first half of the 20th century, African Americans moved out of rural areas to cities in the Great Migration. In the early 21st century, they are a small minority within the county.
