Background

History

In 1066, Arlington had two mills and continued to thrive, driven by the wool trade, until the 18th century. Arlington was the ancestral home of John Custis II, who emigrated to the Colony of Virginia and named his grand, four-story brick mansion (built in 1675) in Northampton County, Virginia, "Arlington" after his hometown.
