The story

How Brambleton came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Brambleton.

Read it all →

Brambleton is located at the site of the former community of Royville, which existed as early as 1908 at the intersection of Belmont Ridge Road and Creighton Road. Prior to 1908, the property on which parts of Brambleton exist today was part of Thomas Lewis’ plantation.

Developing the Brambleton planned community began in earnest in the spring of 1999, immediately after Brambleton Group L.L.C., a division of Soave Real Estate, acquired the property. Road improvements were necessary along Route 607/772 to connect Brambleton via the Loudoun County Parkway to Exit 7 of the Dulles Greenway.

Residents in the development are members of the Brambleton Community Association, a homeowners association.
