When was Reston, Va founded?
Reston, Va, part of the Washington DC Metro area, was founded and named after Robert E. Simon in 1964.  He envisioned a community with the following 7 goals in mind: 

1: To provide ample opportunities for leisurely fun, such as cultural and recreational facilities
2: To provide residents with a variety of housing options that cater to a range of incomes and lifestyles, so they can live in Reston their entire lives
3: To prioritize residents as individuals during planning and development
4: To offer a community residents can both live and work in
5: To immediately provide access to resident community facilities
6: To make Reston an aesthetically pleasing place, both in regards to nature and buildings
7: To be financially successful

Featuring a variety of parks, lakes, trails, and golf courses, as well as a host of shopping and dining options, Robert's vision lives on today.  In 2018, Reston was named the best place to live in Virginia by Money Magazine.
