Arlingtonis a town inMiddlesex County, Massachusetts,United States. The town is six miles (10 km) northwest ofBoston,and its population was 46,308 at the2020 census.
History[edit]
European colonists settled the Town of Arlington in 1635 as a village within the boundaries ofCambridge, Massachusetts,under the nameMenotomy,anAlgonquianword considered by some to mean "swift running water", though linguistic anthropologists dispute that translation.[1]A larger area was incorporated on February 27, 1807, asWest Cambridge,replacing Menotomy. This includes the town ofBelmont,and outwards to the shore of theMystic River,which had previously been part ofCharlestown.The town was renamedArlingtonon April 30, 1867, in honor of those buried inArlington National Cemetery.
TheMassachusetttribe lived around theMystic Lakes,the Mystic River, andAlewife Brook.ChiefNanepashemetwas killed by a rival tribe in about 1619, and Nanepashemet's widow "Squaw Sachem of Mistick"became the acknowledged leader of the tribe. In 1639, she deeded the land of what was then Cambridge and Watertown to the colonists. She lived her last years on the west side of the Mystic Lakes near Medford, where she died sometime between 1650 and 1667.[2]
A stream called Mill Brook flows through the town, which historically figured largely into Arlington's economy. In 1637, Captain George Cooke built the first mill in this area. Subsequently, seven mills were built along the stream, including theOld Schwamb Mill,which still survives. The Schwamb Mill has been a working mill since 1650, making it the longest working mill in the country.
Paul Revere's midnight ride to alert colonists took him through Menotomy,[3]now known as Arlington. Later on that first day of theAmerican Revolution,more blood was shed in Menotomy than in thebattles of Lexington and Concordcombined.Minutemenfrom surrounding towns converged on Menotomy to ambush the British on their retreat fromConcordandLexington.Twenty-five Americans were killed in Menotomy, half of all Americans killed in the day's battles, as well as 40 British troops (more than half their fatalities). Arlington residentCyrus Dallinwould later create an iconic sculpture of the rider; a version can be seen at the town'sCyrus Dallin Art Museum.

TheJason Russell Houseis a museum which remembers those 12 Americans who were killed in and around this pictured dwelling on April 19, 1775. Bullet holes are visible in the interior walls to this day.
In its early years, Arlington was a thriving farming community and had its own lettuce that was quite popular.[4]Arlington had a large ice industry onSpy Pondfrom the mid-19th century until the last ice house burned down in 1930; much of its ice was sent to the Caribbean and India by "Ice King"Frederic Tudor.
Arlington's population grew by over 90 percent during the 1920s.[5]In 1979, the first spreadsheet software programVisiCalcwas developed byBob FrankstonandDan Bricklinin the attic of the Arlington apartment rented byBob Frankston.[6]

Arlington'sexecutive branchconsists of an elected five-memberselect board.The day-to-day operations are handled by atown managerhired by the select board. Thelegislative branchis a representative town meeting,[22]presided over by the town moderator, and is made up of 252 town meeting members.[22]Twelve town meeting members are elected to staggered three year terms from each of the 21precincts.Article LXXXIX section 8 of the Massachusetts Constitution permits towns with a population greater than 12,000 to adopt a city form of government.[23]The town of Arlington meets the population requirement to become a city, but has not done so, in part because it would lose its ability to engage citizens in local government under the representative town meeting form of government. Annual town meetings begin in April on the first Monday after Patriots' Day, and are held two nights a week until all items on the town warrant are resolved, and generally last three to four weeks.
