2747-693: The land that is present-day Reston was part of the Northern Neck Proprietary , a vast grant by King Charles II to Lord Thomas Fairfax that extended from the Potomac to the Rappahannock rivers. The property remained in the Fairfax family until they sold it in 1852. Carl A.

Nikki Hornsby performed an hour-long paid concert, singing with her guitar outside for this new Reston Community. Simon ran into financial difficulties as sales in the new community flagged. To keep his project going, he accepted a loan of $ 15 million from Gulf Oil that allowed him to pay off his creditors. Even so, sales were sluggish as Simon's reluctance to compromise on his high standards for building designs and materials meant that

3015-402: The proprietary and its inhabitants in the seventeenth century. When Lord Fairfax died in 1781 in Virginia, the proprietary effectively ceased to exist. All the land which had been granted by Lord Fairfax remained in the hands of the grantees; the remainder of ungranted land came under the control of the new Commonwealth of Virginia. Prior to 1649, the entire Northern Neck had been designated by

3082-495: The proprietary. In 1735 Lord Fairfax came to Virginia to see about a survey to settle the matter. The survey was undertaken in 1736 (see Fairfax Stone ) and the next year Fairfax returned to England to argue his case before the Privy Council. Before leaving, he rode over much of his domain, and set aside for himself a tract of 12,588 acres (50.94 km ) near Great Falls, in what was to become Fairfax County. A second survey

3216-415: The purview of Fairfax County elected officials and staff. Robert Simon initially explored the option of incorporation as a town but was blocked by Fairfax County. Simon asserted to an interviewer that Fairfax officials informed him they would deny Reston access to Fairfax's water and sewer lines if he sought incorporation for his new community. In 1980, a group of Reston residents were successful in pushing for

3283-755: The residents of that cluster. The majority of Reston lies within Virginia's 11th congressional district and is currently represented in Congress by Representative Gerry Connolly (D).

3350-548: The site. By 1947, the Bowmans had acquired the former Dunn tract south of the railroad, for total holdings of over 7,000 acres (2,800 ha). In 1961, Robert E. Simon used funds from his family's recent sale of Carnegie Hall to buy most of the land, except for 60 acres (240,000 m ) on which the Bowman distillery continued to operate until 1987. Simon officially launched Reston on April 10, 1964 (his 50th birthday) and named

3417-494: The spinoff was the conflicts of interest provisions in the Federal Acquisition Regulation which prevented the company from bidding on some new contracts because of existing contracts.

3484-399: The three groups and the county surveyors lead to the preparation of a map of the Northern Neck in 1736 and 1737. This map shows the courses of the Potomac and Rappahannock and cites latitudes across the map. What the map does not show, however, is a western boundary line for the grant. A line connecting the head springs of the Potomac with those of the Rappahannock had yet to be surveyed. This

3551-419: The time, the affairs of the Proprietary fell to his mother, Lady Catherine Fairfax. When she died in 1719, the sixth Lord Fairfax came to control all six shares of the proprietary.

The specific issue at this time was the southern and western boundaries of

3618-484: The two counties stood for 41 years, and then in 1798, the General Assembly of Virginia passed an act that provided a new dividing line, one which has remained to the present day as the boundary between Fairfax and Loudoun Counties. In 1736, three different survey expeditions were organized with all three having representatives of both the Colony of Virginia and of Lord Fairfax. One party was to explore and map

3685-592: The western land was unoccupied by colonists at the time. In 1746 surveyors led by Colonel Peter Jefferson ( Thomas Jefferson 's father) and Thomas Lewis placed the "Fairfax Stone" at the source of the Potomac River, then made an approximately 77-mile line of demarcation known as the " Fairfax Line ", extending south-eastward from that Stone to the source of the Rappahannock River. Because the Potomac River initially runs westward from its source, and

The unsettled portions of his domain were finally confiscated during the American Revolution by the Virginia Act of 1779 and when he died in 1781 the Proprietary effectively ceased to exist. A portion of this estate, however, was later the subject of the landmark Supreme Court case Martin v. Hunter's Lessee (1816). In September 1649, King Charles II of England granted to seven Englishmen all of Virginia between

Simon envisioned Reston as a model for clustered residential development, also known as conservation development, which puts a premium on the preservation of open space, landscapes, and wildlife habitats. Reston was the first 20th-century private community in the U.S. to explicitly incorporate natural preservation in its planning. Simon hired

The decision was approved by the council and governor, and it became law 19 June 1742. The original Fairfax County only lasted until 1757, when the Virginia House of Burgesses passed an act cutting off from it the County of Loudoun. The dividing line between

Close by were the cubist townhouses at Hickory Cluster, designed by modernist architect Charles M. Goodman in the International Style . Lake Anne also included an elementary school,

By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious. It was decided in 1746 that a line between the sources of the North Branch of the Potomac and the Rappahannock River (the " Fairfax Line ") would constitute

By 2015, however, Tall Oaks had become defunct as a village center and was purchased by a local development firm, Tall Oaks Development Company, with the intent of rezoning the 7.6-acre parcel and converting it to residential housing. During Mobil's ownership period,
