Enumeration Bureau-census-designated place of Arlington, which is the second-largest principal town/city of the Washington urbane area. As a result, the county is often alluded to in the region simply as "Arlington" or "Arlington, Virginia".
The territory that became Arlington was originally donated by Virginia to the United States government to form part of the new federal capital precinct of Columbia.
On February 27, 1801, a year after moving from the temporary National Capital at Philadelphia to the City of Washington, the United States Congress ordered the region as a subdivision of the District titled Alexandria County.
The General Assembly of Virginia changed the county's name to Arlington in 1920 to avoid confusion with the contiguous City of Alexandria.
The county is situated in Northern Virginia on the south bank of the Potomac River directly athwart from Washington, D.C.
Arlington is also bordered by Fairfax County and City of Falls Church to the northwest, west and southwest, and the City of Alexandria to the southeast.
With a territory area of 26 square miles (67 km2), Arlington is the geographically smallest self-governing county in the United States, and due to state law regarding populace density, has no incorporated suburbs inside its borders.
Due to the county's adjacency to downtown Washington, D.C., Arlington is the command posts for many departments and agencies of the federal government of the United States, including the Department of Defense (Do - D) at the Pentagon, Drug Enforcement Administration, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The many federal agencies, government contractors, and service industries contribute to Arlington's stable economy.
Arlington is also the locale of nationwide memorials and exhibitions, including Arlington National Cemetery, the Pentagon Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and the United States Air Force Memorial.
It is the highest-income county in the United States by median family income, though it has the highest concentration of singles in the region. According to a 2016 study by Bankrate.com, Arlington is the best place to retire, with close-by Alexandria coming in at second place.
6.1 Arlington National Cemetery The region that now constitutes Arlington County was originally part of Fairfax County in the Colony of Virginia.
One of the grantees was Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, who lends his name to both Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax.
The name Arlington goes back to Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington, the namesake of a plantation, Arlington Plantation, along the Potomac River, and Arlington House, the family residence on that property.
Lee. The property later became Arlington National Cemetery amid the American Civil War, and eventually lent its name to present-day Arlington County.
The region that now includes Arlington County was ceded to the new United States federal government by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
However, President Washington shifted the federal territory's borders to the southeast in order to include the pre-existing town/city of Alexandria at the District's southern tip.
1878 map of Alexandria County, now Arlington County When Congress appeared in the new capital, they passed the Organic Act of 1801 to officially organize the District of Columbia and placed the entire federal territory, including the metros/cities of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria, under the exclusive control of Congress.
Further, the unincorporated territory inside the District was ordered into two counties: the County of Washington to the east of the Potomac and the County of Alexandria to the west.
It encompassed all of the present Arlington County, plus part of what is now the autonomous town/city of Alexandria. This Act formally established the borders of the region that would eventually turn into Arlington but the people positioned in the District were no longer considered inhabitants of Maryland or Virginia, thus ending their representation in Congress. Residents of Alexandria County had expected the federal capital's locale to result in territory revenue and the expansion of commerce.[when?] Instead the county found itself struggling to compete with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal at the port of Georgetown, which was farther inland and on the northern side of the Potomac River next to the City of Washington. Members of Congress from other areas of Virginia also used their power to prohibit financing for projects, such as the Alexandria Canal, which would have increased competition with their home districts.
In addition, Congress had prohibited the federal government from establishing any offices in Alexandria, which made the county less meaningful to the functioning of the nationwide government. Alexandria had also been a primary market in the American slave trade, and rumors circulated that abolitionists in Congress were attempting to end standardized in the District; such an action would have further depressed Alexandria's slavery-based economy. At the same time, an active abolitionist boss arose in Virginia that created a division on the question of standardized in the Virginia General Assembly.
During the American Civil War, this division led to the formation of the state of West Virginia, which comprised the 55 counties in the northwest that favored abolitionism. The inhabitants of the City of Alexandria voted in favor of the retrocession, 734 to 116; however, the inhabitants of Alexandria County voted against retrocession 106 to 29.
Virginia legislators were concerned that the citizens of Alexandria County had not been properly encompassed in the retrocession proceedings.
After months of debate, the Virginia General Assembly voted to formally accept the retrocession legislation on March 13, 1847. In 1852, the Virginia council voted to incorporate a portion of Alexandria County to make the City of Alexandria, which until then had been only been considered politically as a town. Arlington National Cemetery sits on territory confiscated from Confederate General Robert E.
During the American Civil War, Virginia seceded from the Union as a result of a statewide popular vote held on May 23, 1861; the voters from Alexandria County allowed secession by a vote of 958 48.
The Union loyalists who lived in non-urban areas outside the town of Alexandria, rejected secession. Although Virginia was part of the Confederacy, its control did not extend all the way through Northern Virginia.
In 1864, amid the war, the federal government confiscated the Abingdon estate, which was positioned on and near the present Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, when its owner floundered to pay the estate's property tax in person because he was serving in the Confederate Army. The government then sold the property at auction, whereupon the purchaser leased the property to a third party. The facade of Arlington House appears on Arlington's seal, flag, and logo Garfield, a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives who had been a Brigadier General in the Union Army amid the Civil War and who later became the 20th President of the United States, was an lawyer on Hunter's legal team. In 1870, the Supreme Court of the United States, in a precedential ruling, found that the government had illegally confiscated the property and organized that it be returned to Hunter. Lee's family at and around Arlington House was subjected to an appraisal of $26,810, on which a tax of $92.07 was assessed.
Congress purchased the property from Lee for its fair market value of $150,000, whereupon the property became a military reservation and eventually Arlington National Cemetery. Although Arlington House is inside the National Cemetery, the National Park Service presently administers the House and its grounds as a memorial to Robert E.
Another large incursion on August 27 involved between 600 and 800 Confederate soldiers, which clashed with Union soldiers at Ball's Crossroads, Hall's Hill and along the modern-day border between the City of Falls Church and Arlington.
In 1870, the City of Alexandria became legally separated from Alexandria County by an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that made all Virginia incorporated metros/cities (but not incorporated towns) autonomous of the counties of which they had previously been a part.
Because of the confusion between the town/city and the county having the same name, a boss started to rename Alexandria County.
In 1920, the name Arlington County was adopted, after Arlington House, the home of the American Civil War general Robert E.
Lee, which stands on the grounds of what is now Arlington National Cemetery.
In 1896, an electric street car line was assembled from Washington through Ballston, which led to expansion in the county (see Northern Virginia street cars).
The former Arlington County seal, used from June 1983 to May 2007 In 1920, the Virginia council retitled the region Arlington County to avoid confusion with the City of Alexandria which had turn into an autonomous town/city in 1870 under the new Virginia Constitution adopted after the Civil War.
World War II brought a boom to the county, but one that could not be met by new assembly due to rationing imposed by the war accomplishment.
In October 1942, not a single rental unit was available in the county. On October 1, 1949 the University of Virginia in Charlottesville created an extension center in the county titled Northern Virginia University Center of the University of Virginia, then University College, next Northern Virginia Branch of the University of Virginia, then George Mason College of the University of Virginia, and today George Mason University.
