[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in 20171 zip code. Herndon and Oak Hill are both recognizable city names for the mailing address purpose for 20171. Some residents in 20171 do try to avoid Herndon name and maybe they do that becuase they believe Herndon is not very desirable area. At the same time, I also have to say that 20171 area is quite different from Herndon downtown. Herndon proper vs Oak Hill (20171 Herndon) is kinda similar to Vienna vs Oakton in my opinion. Historically, Oak Hill area was originally called Fring Pan farm and then Floris. I beleive Floris used to have its own post office established in 19th century. Sometime in mid 20th century, Floris PO was merged into Herndon and from that time this area has been called Herndon at least for the the postal city name. So I think there is some historical basis to distinguish Oak Hill from Herndon. [/quote] Thanks, I always like little tidbits of local history. :)[/quote]
