Annexation

Arlington has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few decades, particularly since the ADC and the airport land has been developed. The school at Bolton is mentioned in the article as being within Arlington. Bolton is a small, unincorporated community north of Brunswick, which is also sometimes referred to as part of Arlington. However, the Brunswick article does not mention Arlington at all, part of Brunswick having been lately annexed into Bartlett, TN.

It would certainly be helpful if some knowledgeable person could line-out the Arlington city limits, and maybe the steps in the annexation/growth of the town's land area. Thank you. Rags (talk) 06:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Library

The Arlington Library has an interesting history. The original library was started by an individual to fill a void — Arlington had no library at all. I no longer remember the woman's name, but the story was common knowledge when I lived in the area 30 years ago. Eventually, she petitioned the Memphis and Shelby County Public Library, which incorporated her "branch," and summarily fired her, as unqualified. I now live far away, but there should be records, and probably some who remember the story. —Rags (talk) 07:01, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SY Wilson

At the center of the town square, where one might expect to find a town hall, a courthouse, or a railway depot, stands SY Wilson Hardware and Supply. My understanding is that it has operated there for nearly 100 years, and WAS the de facto center of government for decades, as SY Wilson was the perpetual mayor, usually running unopposed. No documents to support this, just the story I was told, but Arlington didn't exist in a vacuum — should be some records somewhere. —Rags (talk) 07:11, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
