Gilberts Corner, Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilberts Corner is an unincorporated area at the intersection of U.S. Route 50 and U.S. Route 15 in Loudoun County, Virginia to the east of Aldie. There are no residences at this intersection, however, its name is attributed to the surrounding area. Gilberts Corner is named after the gas station/restaurant that sits at the northeast quadrant of the crossroads. It gained prominence in the 1920s when the Carolina Road (now Watson Road) was a toll-road and U.S. Route 15 was extended south from Leesburg to U.S. Route 50. Due to increased traffic from toll evaders, U.S. Route 15 eventually was extended even further south. The gas station/restaurant closed in the 1980s and the intersection is now abandoned. Due to heavy traffic in the area, many commuters avoid the intersection altogether by going through Lenah and taking U.S. Route 15 south. The affluent South Riding community approximately 5 miles to the east.
