Lovettsville is a town in Loudoun County, located near the very northern tip of the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States.

[7] Following the 1722 Treaty of St. Albans which established the Blue Ridge Mountains as the buffer between Native Americans and white settlers, German immigrants began arriving in the northern Loudoun Valley to farm the rich topsoil.

They established several villages, many constructed of log and wooden buildings, and began to expand their land holdings.

During the Civil War, Lovettsville was an important transportation stop for Union troops crossing the Potomac River.

Leesburg, the Loudoun county seat, is 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Lovettsville.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.85 square miles (2.2 km2), of which 2.1 acres (8,354 m2), or 0.38%, are water.

[2] The town sits on a low ridge within the Loudoun Valley, with the west side of town draining to Dutchman Creek and the east side draining to Quarter Branch, both streams flowing north to the Potomac River.

The only primary highway directly serving Lovettsville is Virginia State Route 287.
