Many Arlingtonians have prepared histories tailored to their own neighborhoods, most—but not all of them—for civic associations. Below in the neighborhood names are links to online versions for our county’s communities available as of February 2023, plus history write-ups on four high schools and one elementary school. The Arlington Historical Society will encourage additional efforts. [AHS Board member, local historian, and author, Charlie Clark assembled this collection of neighborhood and school histories. If you know of others, please email: info@arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org ]
