After a battle on May 24, 1841, between Texas General Edward H. Tarrant and the Native people of the Village Creek settlement, a trading post was set up at Marrow Bone Spring, in present Arlington. The rich soil drew farmers, and farm businesses were well established by the late 19th century.
Arlington was founded in 1876 on the Texas and Pacific Railway and named for Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House, in Virginia. It grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center and was incorporated on April 21, 1884. By 1910 it had water, electricity, gas and telephone service. From 1892 to 1951 a mineral well in the middle of downtown drew visitors, and the site is now a memorial plaza. In the early 1920s the Top O' Hill Terrace tea room opened on the Bankhead Highway. In the late 1920s new owners secretly turned it into a casino and speakeasy, with escape tunnels and hidden rooms, which historians call "Vegas before Vegas." The oilman W.T. Waggoner built the Arlington Downs racetrack in 1929, and after he and his sons campaigned for parimutuel betting, the state gave the track its first legal gambling permit in 1933. It averaged 6,700 visitors a day until the legislature repealed the law after the 1937 season. Texas Ranger M.T. "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas shut down Top O' Hill in 1947, and in 1956 the property became the Bible Baptist Seminary, now Arlington Baptist University, where the tunnels survive. Arlington had about 3,031 people in 1925 and grew with wartime manufacturing between Dallas and Fort Worth. Sources Wikipedia: Arlington, Texas
