Ashburn is an unincorporated settlement and census-designated place in Loudoun County, Virginia, about 30 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.

Ashburn was originally a quiet farming village known as Farmwell, and its modern name is believed to come from Ashburn Farm, a 1,236-acre estate owned by John Janney, the prominent Quaker lawyer who presided over Virginia's Secession Convention in 1861.

Ashburn's growth has been explosive: its population was just 3,393 in 1990 but reached 46,349 by the 2020 census.

Ashburn is nicknamed 'Data Center Alley' and is one of the most important internet hubs on Earth — it is widely estimated that around 70% of the world's internet traffic passes through Ashburn and Loudoun County's data centers.

Ashburn's data-center story began with MAE-East in 1992, one of the earliest and most important internet exchange points in North America, followed by AOL's major infrastructure and an early large-scale Equinix data center built in Ashburn in 1998.

Ashburn began changing in the 1980s and 1990s with the expansion of the Dulles Technology Corridor and the construction of large planned neighborhoods such as Ashburn Village and Ashburn Farm, and the broader Ashburn area today also takes in communities such as Brambleton, Broadlands, Moorefield and Loudoun Valley Estates.

The Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail, built on the old Washington and Old Dominion railroad line along which Ashburn began as a small rail stop, runs through the community.

Ashburn is served by Loudoun County Public Schools, whose high schools serving the community include Stone Bridge High School and Broad Run High School.
