Arlington, New England town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
Located six miles northwest of Boston, Arlington spans across residential neighborhoods with local businesses at an elevation of 14 meters.
Established in 1630 as Menotomy village within Cambridge boundaries, the town received its current name in 1867 after Arlington National Cemetery.
The transformation from a farming settlement to an industrial center brought diverse communities, including Irish, Italian, and Greek immigrants to Arlington.
Arlington maintains ten public schools from elementary through high school level, alongside recreational facilities and parks throughout the municipality.
The Old Schwamb Mill, founded in 1650, continues operations as the longest-running mill in the United States, producing wooden picture frames.
