Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Arlington was founded in 1876 by Reverend Andrew Hayter, who established a settlement between Dallas and Fort Worth along the Texas and Pacific Railway. The town was originally named after Robert E. Lee's Virginia estate, Arlington House, and grew rapidly as a key railroad junction connecting the two major cities in North Texas.

RECENT

In 2020, Arlington became the first city in Texas to launch a comprehensive autonomous vehicle pilot program in partnership with Via and the University of Texas at Arlington. The program operates self-driving shuttles that transport passengers between downtown Arlington and the UT Arlington campus, making it a leader in smart city transportation innovation.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Arlington is the birthplace of country music superstar Kelly Clarkson, who won the first season of American Idol in 2002. She attended Burleson High School just outside Arlington and got her start performing at local venues in the Dallas-Fort Worth area before becoming one of the best-selling artists of the 2000s with hits like 'Since U Been Gone.'

DID YOU KNOW

Arlington is the largest city in the United States without a public transportation system, despite having a population of nearly 400,000 people. This unique distinction exists because the city has historically relied on its central location between Dallas and Fort Worth, assuming residents would use those cities' transit systems, though this has sparked ongoing debates about urban mobility and accessibility.

CULTURAL

Arlington proudly calls itself the 'Entertainment Capital of Texas' and is the only city in America to host both MLB and NFL teams within its city limits. Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers) and AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) sit just miles apart, along with Six Flags Over Texas, making Arlington a premier destination for sports and entertainment that draws millions of visitors annually.
