Sterling

Loudoun’s eastern-most residential and commercial region sprung up in 1962 with the development of planned community Sterling Park around Dulles International Airport. Fast forward 60 years and Sterling – also sometimes referred to as Dulles – is a bustling area, famous for its high-tech data centers, modern shopping malls and suburban residential communities. Some of the old Sterling still remains, notably the W&OD Trail, Claude Moore Park and Algonkian Regional Park.
