ArlingtonHistory

Arlington has a rich history dating back to its incorporation in 1807, though its roots trace to the early Puritan settlements of the 1630s when it was part of Cambridge. The town played a key role during the American Revolution as British troops retreated through its streets following the battles of Lexington and Concord. Today, this heritage is preserved through landmarks such as the Jason Russell House and the Old Schwamb Mill, the oldest continuously operating mill in the United States.
