Thus, Herndon would be a
unique town in this area--with
much Of its acreage in farmland.
At present, more than three

present are wooded and vacant,
Another 1000 acres are agricul-

are used for residences, 20.8 acres
for business and 25.5 for industry
including 24.5 acres comprising
the Washington & Old Dominion
