Reston Founder Robert E. Simon Jr.
In 1960, Robert E. Simon Jr. sold his family’s real estate, Carnegie Hall, to New York City for $5 million and signed a contract to purchase 6,750 acres of farmland and woods located between D.C. and Dulles airport, which was under construction. In 1966, the beginning of the new town of Reston was celebrated with international fanfare.
While Simon lost control of Reston in 1967, he moved back to his town in 1993, and has been involved in many aspects of the town since then.
The first Founder’s Day was celebrated on April 17, 2004, on Reston’s 40th Anniversary. Reston turned 50, and Simon turned 100 in April, 2014. Simon celebrated his 101st birthday last spring.
