Welcome to Arlington, MN
Welcome to Arlington, MN!
Located in eastern Sibley County, Arlington was laid out in 1856 and officially approved as a town on May 11, 1858, the same date that Minnesota became a state. German settlers began homesteading in the area in the 1860’s and 1870’s, shaping the population to be predominantly of German descent.
In 1948, Arlington was incorporated as a “Home Rule Charter” city, with revisions to the charter occurring in 1982 and 2008. The city was designated as a Minnesota Star City in 1990 and Tree City USA in 2008.
