Arlington is named after Robert E. Lee's hometown in Virginia. Settlements began to develop more than 150 years ago while Texas was still an independent republic and Arlington was a frontier fort. As is the case with much of the west, the railroad brought new prosperity to Arlington, helping to expand the city and transforming it into a center for farming and cotton production. Agriculture was the mainstay of Arlington until 1954, when General Motors built an assembly plant, and the development boom continues today.
