Area History

One of the first areas in the United States settled by Europeans in the 1500’s; Arlington was the site of the French Fort Caroline in 1564 and is still home to the Fort Caroline National Memorial. After the destruction of Fort Caroline, the area was only sparsely inhabited until the 19th century, when sawmills and plantations were established along the St. Johns River. There was some residential development in the early 20th century but the area saw the first significant increase in development in the 1950s after the completion of the Matthew Bridge connecting Arlington to Downtown Jacksonville.
