Jones Lindgren writes: The Herndon Farm was owned by Robert C. Jones and now by his descendants. The name “Herndon Farm” was geographic, not related to the ownership. I believe the name Herndon was originally assigned to the community by the Central of Georgia Railway. The mainline from Savannah to Atlanta passed through Herndon. To my knowledge there has never been a family named Herndon who lived here. The town had a railroad station with four trains a day, a post office, a Methodist Church (Almira) which burned in the 1940’s/50’s, a gin, and several homes. Today, there is no remaining commercial activity in Herndon, just a general community designation with many farms.
