Arlington (Texas)

Arlington is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex metropolitan area, in the Prairies and Lakes region of Texas. With a city population estimated over 359,000, it is Texas' seventh largest and the third largest in the Metroplex. Arlington is located south of the sprawling DFW International Airport.

About Arlington (Texas)

The city was founded in 1875 and is named after Lee's Arlington House (of present-day Arlington County, Virginia). After the arrival of the railroad in 1876, Arlington grew as a cotton-ginning and farming center and incorporated in 1884. The city could boast of water, electricity, natural gas and telephone services by 1910, along with a public school system. By 1925 the population was estimated at 3,031 and it grew to over 4,000 before World War II.

Large-scale industrialization began in 1954 with the arrival of a General Motors assembly plant. Automotive and aerospace development gave the city one of the nation's greatest population growth rates between 1950 and 1990. Arlington became one of the "boomburgs," the extremely fast-growing suburbs of the post-World War II era. U.S. Census Bureau population figures for the city tell the story: 7,692 (1950), 90,229 (1970), 261,721 (1990) and 365,438 (2022). DFW Airport opened in 1974, which also contributed to unparalleled growth in the region.

Stay safe in Arlington (Texas)

Arlington is a generally safe town, though the areas of Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego and the areas north of IH-30 are MUCH better developed and safer than other parts of the city. Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor water park, Rangers Ballpark in Arlington and the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium are situated in a highly modernized, friendly location along IH-30; as you travel instantly south from there and the area is quite industrialized and deteriorated. One would be wise not to venture through East Arlington on foot at night. The 'danger zone' crucially is neighbored by IH-30 to the north, IH-20 to the south, Cooper Street/FM 157 to the West and State Hwy. 360 to the east.

Located on the north side of IH-20, Arlington's main shopping centers - The Parks at Arlington Mall and newly-built Arlington Highlands mall - are very safe zones that are constantly bustling with people due to all the restaurants and commerce in this area.

If you are visiting the campus of UT Arlington during the day you shouldn't run into any problems, though after hours (even before sundown) assault and robbery are not uncommon on the campus outskirts, particularly south and east of campus. As mentioned before, West Arlington (Dalworthington Gardens and Pantego) are by far the safest areas of the city, though they are mostly residential.
