The settlement was named Herndon in 1858 for Commander William Lewis Herndon, a naval explorer and author of Exploration of the Valley of the Amazon, who captained the ill-fated steamer SS Central America and went down with his ship after helping save more than 150 of its passengers and crew. In the 1870s many Union veterans and their families settled in the area, drawn by its mild climate and cheap land. The town was incorporated in 1879 and marked its 125th anniversary on January 14, 2004.
Originally part of the rural countryside around Washington, Herndon became a center of dairy farming and a vacation spot for area residents, aided by its station on the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad, later the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad. When the railroad was turned into a hike-and-bike trail, the town converted its train station into a museum and visitors center and placed a caboose, acquired in 1989 by Herndon Historical Society member George Moore and painted in the railroad's colors, nearby. The station and caboose remain landmarks of the historic downtown, which residents work to preserve. Sources Wikipedia: Herndon, Virginia
