The smallest self-governing county in the United States by area, Arlington County has both suburban and urbanized districts.

Arlington was originally inhabited by the Nacotchtank people prior to the establishment of the Colony of Virginia in 1606. English colonists began settling in Arlington by the 1670s; the area was designated as part of Fairfax County in 1742. The colonial-era economy was mostly based in tobacco agriculture operated with enslaved labor and indentured servants on large plantations. Following the end of the Revolutionary War, Arlington's planters and yeoman farmers transitioned to other crops. Virginia ceded present-day Arlington to help form the District of Columbia, and beginning in 1801, the area was known as Alexandria County.
