...besides what is on Wikipedia. Not much on Google either. I wanted to find out more about the area. Anyone know about the area, backstory, etc. Hattontown is now commonly known as the area around the Harris Teeter (Woodland Park).

It's known as Oak Hill's "ghost town"!

I asked the Fairfax Historical Society about it a couple of years ago. They said it was an unincorporated hamlet, long since subsumed into Herndon. Not much else to say, I guess.

Google Maps still shows it (or did, anyway), which is how I came across it.

Corner of Monroe and Fox Mill is where I think it was centered. Likely didn't extend as far as the Hairless Tweeter, I'd think, but of course I dunno.

It was a farm until relatively recently. I always assumed that Hattons owned that farm land at some point.
