Following the 1722 Treaty of St. Albans (which established the Blue Ridge Mountains as the buffer between Native Americans and white settlers) German immigrants from Pennsylvania began arriving in the northern Loudoun Valley around 1733 to farm the rich topsoil.

They established several villages, many constructed of log and wooden buildings, and began to expand their land holdings. Lovettsville was then called the German Settlement. In 1820 David Lovett subdivided his property into quarter-acre "city lots." As a result of the ensuing construction boom, the town was called Newtown.
  
In 1828, the town was again renamed Lovettsville. In 1836 the Virginia General Assembly established Lovettsville as a town, but the town was not fully incorporated until 1876.
  
Lovettsville is Loudoun County's third largest town and its northernmost incorporated one.
