Arlington a Jacksonville neighborhood boasting some of Americaâs earliest history.
Jacksonville's Arlington area boasts deep roots, from French colonization at Fort Caroline (1564) to plantations, sawmills, and a unique Free Black community led by Anna Kingsley, evolving into a suburban hub post-Civil War, with modern growth spurred by Atlantic Boulevard (1910) and the Matthews Bridge (1953) connecting it to Downtown. Today, it blends historic sites with 20th-century development, reflecting centuries of Florida history.
