| | Arlington (Va.) Historical Society | Historic Sites and Properties |
 | | In Arlington, a historic district can be a single building, such as a house, church, school, or shop; a group of buildings, such as an apartment complex, a neighborhood, or a commercial center; a single natural feature, such as a rock formation or tree, or grouped natural features, such as a garden or park. |
 | | Thanks to the efforts of county historic preservation staff, there is a large and growing list of properties that are on the National Register of Historic Places. |
 | | Selection of historic districts is based on association with important persons or events of the past, the quality of the architectural style or craftsmanships, and other specific criteria established under Virginia state law and the Arlington County Zoning Ordinance. |
