view from Arlington Ridge
Arlington Ridge, being bordered on the north by the Pentagon, the west by the Army-Navy Country Club and south the City of Alexandria, is chock full of beautiful homes, wonderful residents, and alot of history. The Hume School which was built in 1891 is home to the Arlington Historical Society and was a full-working school until 1958. Fort Scott was named after General Winfield Scott, General-in-Chief- of the Army. It was built to protect the capital. These are both well-known historical sites in this community.
Also referred to as “The Ridge” this piece of land was prepared for construction of the Pentagon. It is believed that thousands of years ago the ridge may have been the shore line of the Potomac River. The Ridge also has it’s place in Revolutionary War and Civil War history. Army Navy Drive, formerly known as Old Georgetown Road in 1781, was the route used by General George Washington and the French troops to arrive in Yorktown,Virginia where the British were defeated.
With a Hollywood role as well, Arlington Ridge was featured in the opening of the 1987 film “No Way Out”. With so much beauty and history “the ridge” makes for an ideal place to visit and live.
