Could a giant spacestation stay in orbit for 1000 years?

This is an extension of my first question, and precisely as Jim2B suggests, I want enough time to pass on my network of space stations for their inhabitants to forget why they're there, how they got there, and even that there's a world outside (the stations' windows have been permanently shut). How would you construct a network like this and where would you position it to give a better chance it will survive for a long time, at least in part? Slate gives the ISS 5 years, but these stations would have been built to keep humanity safe while ~as of yet unspecified disaster~ raged below them, potentially for centuries. Is a thousand years before the stations begin to come down simply inconceivable?
