History
Arlington was originally called Burlington, and under the latter name was laid out in 1832. The present name is after Arlington, Virginia. The Arlington post office has been in operation since 1875. On April 23, 1978, a plane carrying 8 members of the United States Auto Club home from a race at Trenton Speedway in Trenton, New Jersey, crashed on approach to the Indianapolis International Airport just north of Arlington, killing all 8 members of USAC and the pilot Don Mullendore.
