Neersville, Virginia

Neersville is an unincorporated community in northwestern Loudoun County, Virginia, United States.

[2][3] Neersville derives its name from the Neer brothers, Conrad and William, who were in the 1770s the first to lease and later own the land around the present village .

[5][4] Within five years, the post office established a branch in the village which they christened Neersville and, with it, the "Capitol City" of Between the Hills was born.

[4] The village continued to prosper in the antebellum years, boasting two mills, a saw and grist, by 1850.

[citation needed] Though the village was occupied by both armies during the war, no real fighting took place there.
