About Arlington

Across the Potomac River from Washington, Arlington is famous for its large military cemetery. Originally known as Alexandria County, Arlington and the neighboring city of Alexandria were part of the District of Columbia from 1801-1847. Five major business districts – Crystal City, Pentagon City, Rosslyn, Ballston, & Courthouse – give it a distinct multi-peaked skyline, easily appreciated from airplanes landing at Arlington's Washington National Airport.
