Arlington is located just across the river from Washington, D.C. It is an independent county with no independent cities or towns within its boundaries. Schools, churches and businesses form the center of daily lives. Bike trails and parks dot Arlington and are widely used. Bus and metro services are readily available. Motor traffic can be heavy at times. A major hospital is located in our community and serves the entire county as well as nearby cities. A major airport lies within its boundaries.
Arlington was once part of the District of Columbia. It was once the home to many dairy farms. A population boom occurred during WWII when the federal government expanded. Arlington was the home of Robert E. Lee, whose home and property was seized by the federal Government during the Civil War - it is now the home to Arlington National Cemetery. Many civil war sites are located in the county. There are several historically-black neighborhoods in the county. One is Hall's Hill in North Arlington, which is served by two churches. Currently Hall's Hill neighborhood is split between two different House of Delegates districts.
Many Arlington residents work for the federal government in D.C., but many also work for tech companies and local government agencies and NGOs. They rely heavily on public transportation. Arlington has experienced severe flooding in recent years. We are concerned about preserving our greenspace and protecting our environment - including air quality and tree canopy.
Arlington abuts Falls Church City, City of Alexandria, and Fairfax County. Residents travel within these three jurisdictions to engage in shopping, dining, and recreation. However, Arlingtonians are first and foremost concerned about services within county boundaries - schools, parks, transportation.
