Arlington, Texas As the railroad was being built toward the little city of Fort Worth in the early 1870 's, one of the original settlers of Johnson Station refused to let "one of them infernal things" (the railroad train) go across his property. The rail bed was rerouted three miles to the north, and a new town sprang up. The town was named Arlington in honor of General E. Robert Lee's hometown in Virginia. The first train came on through July 19 , 1875 . Soon, stores and buildings were being built in rapid succession, and people talked of a new brick post office. Arlington established a form of government and was incorporated in 1883. Johnson Station had signed its own death warrant, and its prosperity gradually moved to this new, typical, western town. Arlington is located right in the heart of an immense and rapidly growing metroplex which is Dallas and Fort Worth. Although it is some of a what on in is thing geographic accident , is going Arlington anything but an accident. Arlington knows exactly what it is doing. It is a city with a purpose, a plan, and the Texas-style determination to make the most of what it has to offer. The air corridors over Arlington these days are dotted with heli copters transporting northern industrialists, corporation presidents, and major league baseball tycoons. From their aerial perch above the town, the visiting VIP's look down at the land-rich environs of a city which, during the past decade, developed from a residential community of 7,700 people into a major southwest industrial center with a population in excess of 50,000 people. Immediately east of the city is the Great Southwest Industrial District, a sprawling 5,800 acre tract which is the largest industrial site of its kind in the nation. A few years ago this was farm land. Today, a market value has been established, and more than two million square feet of buildings have been erected. The roster of firms located on Great Southwest soil reads like a Who's Who of American Business, but there is still room for others , and the welcome mat is out . Occupants include such big names as General Motors, American Can, United States Steel, Anaconda, Container Corporation of America,' Vought Electronics, and General Foods, to name a few; they are all prominent. An integral part of the Great Southwest Industrial District development a as a distri is Great Southwest Warehouses , gigantic complex designed bution center for manufacturers. Occupying 110 acres of Great Southwest Industrial District soil is "Six Flags Over Texas," a fantastic ten million dollar funland, which has lured millions of pleasure seekers into the Arlington area. In addition to Six Flags, still another major project may enrich the already healthy flow of tourist dollars into the area. In the north are uncultivated east section of Arlington, adjacent to Six Flags, 150 acres which were purchased by the city as a site for a 50,000 seat, domed, major league stadium. The first 10,000 seat section is already under construction and will be used by the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs. As soon as a major league franchise is obtained, the remainder of the stadium will be constructed. The prize may be awarded soon. "The Dallas-Fort Worth area is the in largest the country without big league ball," says Arling ton Mayor Tom J. Vandergriff. "The area will get a ball club..." Moving west over the city, a sky traveling visitor can see one of the fastest growing colleges in the nation, Arlington State College, where the current enrollment of 10,4-45 is roughly eight times the size of the student body a decade ago. Everywhere one may look in Arlington, street, road, and building construction abounds and dramatizes the happy plight of a city caught in an era of exploding growth. An example is Arlington State College where new science and library buildings and two dormitories have recently been added, and a new auditorium and a theatre center are under construc tion. Statistical projections indicate that the school's present fifteen million dollar plant, as well as the student body, will be doubled by 1980. A boom town is often a troubled town, a town of helter-skelter development with nightmarish zoning and construction problems. These penalties of sudden and explosive growth were escaped by Arlington where advance knowledge of the boom era provided time for enactment of controls. The character of the city's development is determined by zoning regulations and building ordinances set down in accordance with a comprehensive Master Plan of the city government. Arlington's embarrassment of economic blessings also includes a sur plus of high quality skilled and semi-skilled personnel from eastern and northern industrial centers, and hand-picked talent from the growing tide of families moving into the Arlington area are available to staff the plants of inflowing industries. Migration of the nation's workers into the area prompts this Chamber of Commerce description of Arlington: "A rare combination of Southern gentility and Yankee ingenuity - an atmosphere in which it is ideal to work." Along the same line, a company which specializes in community development surveys has taboed Arlington: "The Opportunity Frontier of Texas." Tom J. Vandergriff has been mayor of the city for fourteen years and is responsible in lar^ measure for its growth.
