摘要：	The road history projects undertaken by the Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research (formerly the Virginia Transportation Research Council) establish the feasibility of studies of early road networks and their use in the environmental review process. These projects, by gathering and publishing the early road orders of the vast parent counties and other significant areas, also lay the foundation for additional research by local groups over a broad area of Virginia. This volume marks the twenty-ninth entry in the Historic Roads of Virginia series, initiated in 1973 by the Virginia Highway & Transportation Research Council (subsequently the Virginia Transportation Research Council, and now the Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research). Loudoun County Road Orders 1783-1800 is a cooperative effort of the Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research and independent researcher Patricia B. Duncan. This volume furthers the coverage of early northern Virginia transportation records begun in the previously published Loudoun County Road Orders 1757-1783, Fairfax County Road Orders 1749-1800, Frederick County Road Orders 1743-1772, and Orange County Road Orders 1734-1749. This volume covers the period from the years immediately following the end of the Revolutionary War through the end of the 18th century. By the last half of the 18th century, Loudoun County was already one of the most populous and economically important counties in northern Virginia, and it contained major east-west and north-south transportation routes.

This publication will have particular application to the cultural resource research relating to transportation proj
