Arlington, conveniently
nestled between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is a town where a cowboy
still stops and tips his hat to a stranger. It is a town filled with history;
yet it is vibrant in a modern way. Whether you enjoy the outdoors, a museum,
fine restaurants, or a screaming thrill ride, Arlington has it. Every
season of the year is a good time to visit.
Growing out of the westward
expansion of the Old West, and following
the wars with Native Americans on the new frontier, the city began to thrive and
has continued to do so to this day. Arlington was incorporated in 1884, one year
after its first newspaper was established. In 1895, Arlington College opened,
eventually becoming a military academy, and ultimately part of the
University of Texas system. It is now known as the University of Texas at
Arlington.
In the 1950s and 1960s the face and fortunes of
Arlington would change forever with the vision of a young man who served as
Mayor for twenty-six years. Having watched Disneyland in California take root,
he had a vision. The result of his vision was that in 1961, the original
Six Flags Over Texas was opened to the public. This stellar attraction now
draws over 3 million visitors a year and remains the biggest family theme park
in the central states and the southwest. Furthermore, the attraction
continues to grow year after year. It now includes the ever-popular Hurricane
Harbor, providing children and adults with a summertime water bonanza.
Sports fans:
get ready for some rip-roaring entertainment! Arlington is home to the Texas
Rangers major league baseball team and America’s Team, the Dallas Cowboys, are
close by. If children are included in your plans, they won’t feel left out. Of
course there is no doubt that Six Flags Over Texas will be a must for them, so
get ready for the thrills and spills. If baseball is of interest, be sure to
include the Ballpark Tours & Legends of the Game Museum. A fascinating place to
visit is the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum. Located near the Dallas Fort
Worth Airport, you can see an actual restored DC-3 and a flight simulator. Take
time to relax, and visit Lake Arlington. With over 2250 acres, it affords a
great opportunity to commune with nature.
