Gilberts Corner, Virginia

Gilberts Corner is an unincorporated area at the intersection of U.S. Routes 15 and 50 in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States, located east of the historic village of Aldie.

There are no residences at this intersection, but its name is attributed to the surrounding area. Gilberts Corner is named after the William Gilbert family, who ran the gas station/restaurant that sits at the northeastern quadrant of the crossroads. It gained prominence in the 1920s when the Carolina Road (now Watson Road) was a toll road and U.S. 15 was extended south from Leesburg to U.S. 50. Due to increased traffic from toll evaders, U.S. Route 15 eventually was extended even farther south. The gas station/restaurant closed in the 1980s and is currently in the process of being renovated. Due to heavy traffic in the area, many commuters avoided the intersection altogether by going through Lenah and taking U.S. Route 15 south.
