HISTORY

Arlington is an urban county of about 26 square miles located directly across the Potomac River from Washington DC. No incorporated towns or cities lie within Arlington's boundaries.

Originally part of the area surveyed for the nation's capital, the portion of the District on the west bank of the Potomac River was returned to the Commonwealth of Virginia by the U.S. Congress in 1846. This area was known as Alexandria City and Alexandria County until 1920 when the county portion was renamed Arlington County.

since 2010. On average, Arlington's population has grown at about 1% per year since 2000.

Arlington County population estimates are based on housing unit counts and residential construction activity, which is closely monitored for changes and reported quarterly through the County's development tracking reports. The U.S. Census Bureau also produces estimates at the county level that are higher due in part to the population migration methodology utilized by the U.S. Census Bureau.
