  • Dulles, Virginia is an unincorporated area located in Loudoun County, Virginia, part of the Washington Metropolitan Area. The headquarters of Orbital Sciences Corporation and ODIN technologies and the former headquarters of MCI Inc. and AOL are located in Dulles. Dulles covers roughly the southwestern third of Sterling, Virginia (another unincorporated community). The usage of Dulles as a community name began in the mid-1980s when Loudoun County economic development officer Pam Treadwell successfully lobbied the United States Postal Service to allow Sterling businesses and residents to use Dulles as an alternate address. The USPS defines Dulles as an "acceptable" city name for the 20166 zip code, whose "actual" city name is Sterling. The addresses for shipping parcels to United States embassies and consulates, as well as their employees worldwide, are located in Dulles, Virginia 20189. The USPS city name for zipcode 20189 is Dulles. Washington Dulles International Airport is located partially in Dulles (although its postal address uses the Sterling name instead) and partially in Chantilly in Fairfax County. The community derives its name from the airport; the airport in turn takes its name from former United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles (1888–1959).
  • Dulles ist ein gemeindefreies Gebiet in Loudoun County im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Dulles liegt im südwestlichen Drittel des gemeindefreien Gebiets von Sterling. Die Benutzung des Namens begann in der Mitte der 1980er, als der Verantwortliche für Wirtschaftsentwicklung von Loudoun County, Pam Treadwell den Namen promotete. Die US-Post erlaubte daraufhin den Unternehmen und Einwohnern Sterlings den Namen Dulles als Alternativadresse zu nutzen. Dulles wird von der Post als ein „akzeptabler“ Stadtname für die Postleitzahl 20166 bezeichnet, während der tatsächliche Name der Stadt Sterling ist. Der Washington Dulles International Airport liegt teilweise in Dulles (obwohl dieser den Namen Sterling in seiner Anschrift nutzt) und teilweise in Chantilly in Fairfax County liegt. Die Gemeinde hat ihren Namen vom Flughafen abgeleitet, der wiederum seinen Namen vom ehemaligen US-Außenminister John Foster Dulles (1888-1959) erhalten hatte. Die Hauptverwaltungen von America Online und der Orbital Sciences Corporation sowie der ehemalige Sitz von MCI befinden sich in Dulles.
