Arlington, Ohio

Arlington grew from 1,455 to 1,492 between 2010 and 2020. These are the recorded population figures Wikidata holds for this place, reached through the Geographic Names Information System number this page is keyed on rather than by name, so they belong to this place and not to another of the same name. Most are census counts, but not all are: an early figure may be a founding or settlement estimate. The change column is computed, and is left blank where more than 20 years separate a figure from the one before it, because a gap that long is not a change between two counts.

History of Hancock County [Ohio] from Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Together with Remeiniscenses of Pioneer Life, Incidents, Statistical Tables, and Biographical Sketches, published 1881 names this settlement in its chapter on Arlington Village.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 621 specimens collected within 10 miles of Arlington between 1886 and 1973: 614 Animalia, 7 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Auten, CL & LC Hubbs, CLARENCE CLARK and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists 1 working within 5 miles of Arlington: 1 producer. All of them still produce. What was taken out: Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
