Few cities in Virginia have a history as closely tied to the nation’s military and federal institutions as Arlington. On the Virginia bank of the Potomac River, directly across from Washington, DC, it is home to the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. The cemetery was established during the Civil War on the grounds of Arlington House, the former home of Robert E. Lee, and its memorial avenues look toward the capital. Metro-linked districts such as Rosslyn and Crystal City underline Arlington’s role in the daily life of the wider capital region.
