The marker was erected in the courtyard at City Hall, 101 W. Abram St., the area of the original town site and near what is now the Union Pacific rail line. The inscription on the marker chronicles the history of Arlington from its development along the west fork of the Trinity River in the 1800s to the progress of its schools, churches, government and entertainment industry.
