Arlington, VAWashington, DC Donated by Virginia to the United States in 1801 and originally part of Washington, DC, Arlington has served as the headquarters to many governmental department and agencies. The land of Arlington completed the “square” of Washington, DC. (It is labeled as Alexandria County in the animated picture below) It was retroceded back to Virginia in 1846 because the residents felt like they had no voice. They were no longer a part of Virginia, and didn’t feel like a part of Washington. Yet due to its proximity to the National Mall, today Arlington has the feel of Washington DC. The Washington, DC/Arlington area features a number of attractions. Notable Places: Arlington National Cemetery The Pentagon – Headquarters of the US Department of Defense The White House National Mall (partial list) National Air and Space Museum Washington Monument Lincoln Memorial Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution Building Dupont Circle Georgetown University
