Gilbert's Corner

Gilberts Corner is a civil parish located at the intersection of US Route 50 and US Route 15 in Loudoun County , Virginia , east of Aldie . Even if there are no residences at this intersection, the name is attributed to the surrounding area.

Gilberts Corner was named after a gas station and restaurant located on the northeast section of the intersection. In the 1920s, the place gained importance when the Carolina Road (now Watson Road) became a toll road and the US Route 15 was expanded south of Leesburg to US Route 50. Due to increasing traffic from toll evaders, US Route 15 was finally expanded further south. The gas station and restaurant were abandoned in the 1980s and the intersection is now closed. Due to heavy traffic in the area, many commuters avoid the intersection and head south via Lenah and US Route 15.
