The first episode, “Arlington Eras: Arlington Brands,” covers the city’s earliest chapters from frontier days to the 1950s. Former mayor Richard Greene joins host and historian O.K. Carter to explore the roots of modern Arlington.
To commemorate these historic milestones, the Arlington Parks, Recreation & Culture Department has set a goal of planting and distributing a total of 1,800 trees, or an average of 150 per month, in honor of the City’s sesquicentennial celebration.
The city’s first permanent post office? That didn’t take place until 1939, Downtown at 200 W. Main St. The building is still there and has a historical marker, serving as a school district tax office for a number of years. It is currently Worthington National Bank.
The City’s sesquicentennial celebration will offer something for everyone, including family-friendly festivals, historical exhibits, community projects and other special events!
