Scanned from: History of the Pacific Northwest : Oregon and Washington . Portland , Or. : North Pacific History Co. , 1889 . v . 2 , p . 350 . Arlington was first settled in 1880 , after the area was used through much of the previous decade as a meeting point where cattlemen would gather their cattle for sale . Originally named Alkali (after the Alkali Canyon , which it was located at the mouth of) , the name was changed to Arlington in 1885 when the town was incorporated . The origin of the name Arlington is uncertain- it is presumed to be either after a prominent resident , Nathan Arlington Cornish , or after Arlington , VA in honor of that town's prominent resident of the day , southern General Robert E . Lee . The entire town of Arlington was relocated just uphill between 1953 and 1973 , when the building of the John Day Dam drowned (on January 2nd , 1968) old Arlington for good .
