Arlington History Arlington's history is complex, its identity evolving over more than 150 years. It has been a frontier outpost, an agricultural center, a site of Indian battles and a mecca for horse racing and gambling. Today it is famed for Major League Baseball and amusement attractions that feature giant roller coasters, but it also has a high tech component.
History of Baseball It was 1958 when a committee was formed to study the feasibility of bringing minor league baseball to the Metroplex, and 1972 when professional baseball actually moved into Arlington Stadium. The Washington Senators soon became the Texas Rangers, and major league baseball hit a homerun in Arlington!
