Arlington

Elevation : 616
Population : 306,497

In the 1840s Arlington attracted farmers, who were drawn to the area’s fertile blacklands and sandy loam watered by the Trinity River and its tributaries. However, the area didn’t truly open for white settlers until the Indians were defeated at Village Creek, near the site of Lake Arlington. The train came through, Dallas and Fort Worth grew exponentially, and the rest is history. Today the city is home to over 300,000 residents as well six regulation golf courses.
