Fact text
- Reston's founder literally named the town after himself, the 'R.E.S.' in Reston stands for Robert E. Simon's initials.
- Simon launched Reston on April 10, 1964, his 50th birthday, which is a pretty great way to celebrate.
- The land Reston sits on once housed a working bourbon distillery that kept operating until 1987.
- Simon bought the land using money from his family's sale of Carnegie Hall, which is a sentence you don't write every day.
- A virus discovered in Reston in 1989 was so notable it was officially named 'Reston virus', and the building where it was found was later replaced by a daycare.
