In 1791, an area of ten square miles was surveyed for the capital of the U.S., and Arlington was part of this area. In the period between 1801 and 1847, Arlington was a part of the county of Alexandria, District Columbia. In 1847, Alexandria was returned to Virginia by the Congress after receiving a request from the residents of the area. In 1870, after the civil war ended, Alexandria city was separated from Alexandria county. The government also held elections regularly. Later, in 1920, to avoid confusion between the city and county, which are located close to each other, the county was renamed as Arlington.
Arlington county is named after the home of General Robert Lee, which is located in the county near the National Cemetery in Arlington. Legally there are no towns or cities which are located within the county due to the laws regarding population density. Due to its small size, the county can be considered to be like a city.

No part of the county can be annexed by the neighboring counties and cities.
