Arlington ranks among the 48 most populous cities in the country. Fifteen U.S. cities, towns, and villages across the nation bear the name "Arlington," the largest of which in both area and population- as befits the bigger-in-Texas mode - resides in the Lone Star state.
With a population of more than 400,000 and spread across 99.5 square miles, Arlington is located precisely midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. In both population and area, it has a unique distinction other than its 48-in-population standing. It is the largest "mid" city in America.
