It was created during the civil war from hate and revenge with the Arlington House Mansion home of Robert E. Lee and the surrounding 1,100 acre plantation as the catalyst.

The property was seized for tax default by the federal government in 1862. Burials began almost immediately as close as possible to the mansion with the intention of rendering the house uninhabitable should the Lee family ever return. By the end of 1864, seven thousand union soldiers were interred on the plantation, the graves indicated with crude wooden markers. Soon huge vaults were added. Among the first, one containing the remains of 1,800 dead from the battle of Bull Run.

Then the giant grave containing the remains of 2,111 unknown soldiers from the civil was was added. After the war, Lee descendent Custis Lee was awarded return of the property and demanded all graves be disinterred from Arlington. The federal government faced with the expense of moving 16,000 graves purchased the property from Custis Lee ensuring Arlington as a National cemetery forever.

Today 260,000 Americans are buried in its 612 acres-The famous and the anonymous, generals and privates, presidents and politicians. Still overlooking the cemetery is the Arlington House Mansion completely restored and open daily for public visitation.
