Arlington's history dates back to the early 18th century when it was a rural area with agriculture-based activities. The area became more developed after the construction of the Alexandria Canal in 1843, which made it a transportation hub. During the Civil War, Arlington was used as a military headquarters, and the Arlington House, now a part of Arlington National Cemetery, was used as a military hospital.
After the war, the government acquired the land and began building the Arlington National Cemetery. As the years went by, Arlington developed into a residential area with many suburban neighborhoods. Today, it is a diverse area with a population of over 230,000 people and is known for its proximity to Washington D.C. and its tourism industry.
