Originally part of the rural surroundings of the Washington, D.C. area, the town of Herndon developed into a hub of dairy farming and vacationing for area residents, aided by its presence along the W&OD Railroad. The town is known for the location of a famous civil war cavalry raid by Confederate Colonel John Singleton Mosby and its Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Herndon is the sister city of Runnymede, England.

Rent a Car or Limousine in Herndon

There are no interstate or US highways through Herndon. The primary arteries in and out are the following state highways:

• VA-267 - (Dulles Toll Road, Dulles Access Road, Dulles Greenway) This toll road runs East-West from Leesburg to Falls Church. It feeds into I-66 and I-495 at its east side and US-15 at its west end. There is a spur that runs to Dulles International Airport. The road is one of the quickest ways to get around during off hours and weekend, but should be avoided during rush hour as it suffers from stand still traffic at these times.
• VA-28 - This highway runs north and south from VA-7 in the north to US-15/US-29 in the south. Like VA-267 this is one of the major arteries for Northern Virginia and is a fast way to get around but becomes very congested during rush hour.
• SR-606 - This is a secondary state road but is still a major artery. It runs right through the historic neighborhood as Elden St. and connects to both VA-267 and VA-28 in the west and VA-7 in the east bound direction.
