Hillsboro, VASmall Rural Town in the Blue Ridge Mountains![]() Visiting Hillsboro VAHillsboro VA (originally Hillsborough) is located near the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northwestern part of Virginia and 10 miles south of historic Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. This small town had no street addresses for buildings until 2000; up to then buildings were only referred to by their owner's names or purposes.Although quite small and quaint, this Loudon County community can boast about their porches!
