Arlington is a city in Virginia, located right across the Potomac River from Washington D.C., and it is part of the capital city’s metro area. Along with Arlington, several other cities help round out this area, including Annandale and Alexandria.
Arlington is home to many government buildings, including the Pentagon complex. Perhaps the best-known place to visit in Arlington besides the Pentagon is the Arlington National Cemetary, which is one of the most renowned war cemeteries in the world.
Along with the graves themselves, Arlington National Cemetary contains several memorials and tributes to past soldiers, including the Vietnam Memorial. Other memorials include the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial and the US Marine Corps War Memorial, which is styled after the famous picture of Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima.

Population
Arlington was originally founded as Fairfax County, though after the American Revolution, it was ceded to the federal government by Virginia. Throughout years of economic neglect, the residents of Arlington eventually requested that their county be returned to Virginia, and the motion was passed in 1847.
Fast-forward to the 20th century, and Arlington saw its largest-ever population boom during the 1950s, like many other cities after World War II. Much of the 1960s and 1970s were spent optimizing the city’s infrastructure to catch up with this unexpected population increase.
