In 1791, Arlington was first part of the ten square mile tract for the nation's capital, Washington, DC. It was known as Alexandria County of the District of Columbia. The area on the west bank of the Potomac River was given back to Virginia on 9 July 1846. In 1870, Alexandria City separated from Alexandria County. Due to confusion with the two names, many attempted to rename the county, but the name stood until 1920 when Arlington County was adopted.. At that time, all the portion not in Alexandria City was created into Arlington County. No incorporated towns, cities or communities may be within the boundary of Arlington. It was named for the home of the Civil War general, Robert E. Lee, Arlington House. The house now stands on the Arlington National Cemetery. It is the building displayed on the Arlington county Seal.
