24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Round Hill, VA

Round Hill is an incorporated town in western Loudoun County, Virginia, incorporated on February 5, 1900.

Round Hill takes its name from a 910-foot hill about two miles northeast of town that was used as a signal post by both Confederate and Union troops during the Civil War.

From 1874 to 1900, Round Hill was the terminus of a rail line from Washington that became part of the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad, and many of its older houses began as boarding houses, inns, and taverns for Washingtonians escaping the summer heat.

Round Hill had a population of 693 at the 2020 census, up 28.6% from 539 in 2010 - strong growth for a town that counted just 318 residents when it incorporated in 1900.

The town covers only about 0.37 square miles at the crossroads of Virginia Route 7 and Route 719 (Woodgrove Road), roughly 50 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. and 12 miles west of Leesburg, the Loudoun County seat.

Round Hill sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is drained by the North Fork of Goose Creek, about 4 miles from the Appalachian Trail and 7 miles from the Shenandoah River.

The Appalachian Trail Conservancy designated Round Hill an official Appalachian Trail Community in 2019, and the town has hosted an Appalachian Trail Festival since that year.

Round Hill holds its Hometown Festival every Memorial Day, with a parade through the small downtown.

The Round Hill Historic District, Ketoctin Baptist Church, and Woodgrove are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and Round Hill United Methodist Church dates to 1889.

There are no public schools inside the town limits: Round Hill Elementary School stands just outside town in the Villages of Round Hill subdivision, and older students attend Woodgrove High School in Purcellville.
