The name Arlington Heights has been used since the first half of the 19th Century, when it designated a large area extending from the current site of the Custis-Lee Mansion, westward and southward. Civil War maps clearly show this area. Maps at the turn of the century, however, show establishment of smaller neighborhoods that once were part of the larger area known as Arlington Heights. As each of these areas was carved out and established, such as Barcroft, Alcova Heights and Clarendon, our neighborhood remained as the only area still using the Arlington Heights name.
