Arlington Hotels and Accommodation

Arlington is situated on the I-20, 14 miles east of Fort Worth and 22 miles west of Dallas, in a busy metropolitan area. Arlington is the 7th largest city in Texas and the 50th largest city in the United States. It has approximately 371,000 residents. Surprisingly, Arlington is also the largest US city without a form of mass transport system. After a battle in 1841 between the Indians of Village Creek settlement and General Tarrant’s army, the area was settled farmers, who grew cotton. By 1954 massive industrialization had taken place and General Motors built an automobile plant here. The development of the aerospace industry also led to a boom in the population, rising to 359,467 by 2004.
