It was initially part of, then (merely) the closest neighbor to the District of Columbia. Often, Arlington was a place passed through on the way to somewhere else. With better transportation at the beginning of the twentieth century, it became a destination instead. Towns sprang up along the rail lines. An overflow of home-seeking government workers joined the earlier settlers, ultimately developing the suburban community of today. The federal government joined in, placed facilities in the county, and developed the Custis-Lee estate into the national Arlington Cemetery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a selection of fine historic images from his best-selling book \u003cem\u003eHistoric Photos of Arlington County, \u003c\/em\u003e Matthew Gilmore provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of Arlington. \u003cem\u003eRemembering Arlington\u003c\/em\u003e brings together many different images and perspectives on Arlington, from the nonrecognizable rural nineteenth century to quite recognizable images from the 1970s.
