History

In its earliest years, Arlington was a commercial stop along the Overland Trail.

[9] In 1983, the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district for its nineteenth-century significance. [4]

In 1882, a post office was established at Rock Creek under the name of "Rock Dale." [9] Except for a gap in 1924 and 1925, a post office with the name of Arlington was operated in the community from 1902 to 1943. [10]
