Vienna VA is named after Vienna NY. Originally named Ayr Hill, the town was renamed in the 1850s when William Hendrick, a doctor, offered to move to the area on the condition that the town be renamed after his hometown in Vienna, NY. I guess having a doctor in your town was a pretty big deal in 1850.
