River Creek, Virginia

River Creek is a planned community in Loudoun County, Virginia, located 40 miles (64 km) west of Washington, D.C., and 4 miles (6 km) east of Leesburg at the confluence of the Potomac River and Goose Creek.

The area was originally known as Edward's Ferry, and because of its location on the Potomac River, it has played a vital role throughout American history.

In August 1814, during the War of 1812 when the United States government was temporarily moved to Leesburg, patrols of American soldiers and Virginia Militia kept guard against the threat of further British advance up the Potomac Valley.

In and around the current River Creek property during the American Civil War, the Battle of Ball's Bluff occurred on October 21, 1861.

Artifacts from River Creek's over two hundred years of history are on display at its Community Information Center.
