Nice one, Doc!
Tyson’s Corner started out as a collection of commercial buildings at a crossroads in Fairfax County. The “Tyson” in the name was probably related to the group of Germans who migrated from Philadelphia and came across Maryland and through Loudon, Prince William, and Stafford on their way to Ohio. A large group of Tysons also migrated to Baltimore and descendants of that family also owned land in Fairfax, Prince William, and Stafford.
I’m related to the original owners, but the connection is way, way back. If it were recent, I’d be writing this on a solid gold computer, with diamond keys, while sitting on my own private island, once known as “Australia.”

To be specific, it started out as a single gas station.
I wouldn’t call it a new city. I would call it surburban sprawl traffic land. Tyson’s is basically the mall (well two malls), a bunch of tall office buildings, restaurants catering to the lunchtime and after-work crowd, strip-malls and a few overpriced cookie-cutter condo complexes where the yuppies inhabiting the office buildings live.
