The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
Founded in 1880 and originally named Nordland because of the many Norwegian settler. Named Denver for a short period in 1884 but the US Post Office would not accept the name for a post office. In 1885, the name Arlington, for Arlington, Virginia, was selected for the community. The post office remained Nordland and the railroad station was called Denver. (SD-T17/p47)
