Herndon Station

Herndon grew up around this railroad station. The town received its name in 1858 when the
Alexandria, Loudoun & Hampshire Railroad arrived and a post office was established in the newly built station.
Herndon quickly became the commercial center for a booming dairy industry in the surrounding countryside.
Mills, farm suppliers, and retail shops were established near the railroad depot.
