Just 30 miles northeast of Memphis sits Arlington, a town rich in history and heritage with plenty of small-town charm. With a population of approximately 8,000, Arlington is the eastern-most municipality in Shelby County in the midst of vibrant growth. Historical landmarks dot the city along with excellent schools, community activities and commercial amenities. One of the county’s best kept secret, Arlington remains a quiet, family friendly town with a low cost of living, where star-filled skies outshine street lamps. The local economy thrives with the Arlington Industrial Park, home to several employers in the area. Just as important as the music of Memphis area, the local barbecue positions the city’s culinary delights in a category of its own. Arlington holds its own with the Annual Barbecue Burnout in November featuring live entertainment, activities for families and children and of course, a challenge to the best barbecue. With an active community and spirit, Arlington’s Beautification Committee awards residents and businesses with the most well-kept and attractive yards, promoting civic pride and enhancing the landscape in the city.

To further celebrate the community spirit, Arlington in April is an annual event held in the historic downtown area featuring live music, petting zoo, craft booths, games, car shows and stagecoach rides. The Annual 4th of July Picnic in the Park adds to the small-town feel of Arlington, featuring a Pie Baking Contest, the patriotic Bike and Wagon Parade and the “Most Patriotic Family” award.
