History
Arlington was originally called Bell Creek (after nearby Bell Creek) and under the latter name was platted in 1869 when the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad was extended to that point. Due to similarity in name with another place in Nebraska, Bell Creek was renamed Arlington, after the city of Arlington, virginia, in 1882. Arlington was home to the Marshall Nurseries, an internationally acclaimed nursery credited with creating the Marshall seedless green ash tree (Fraxinus pennsylvanica 'Marshall'), one of the most common green ash cultivars planted in the United States.
