Lucketts is an unincorporated historic hamlet in Loudoun County, Virginia along US 15 north of Leesburg. It was originally known as Black Swamp due to the large number of Black Oak trees growing in the area at the time of its settlement. From the late 1700s until the mid-1800s, it was known as Goresville after the name of prominent local landowner, Thomas Gore. The name was finally changed to Lucketts in 1865.
