Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Arlington, NE

Arlington is a village in Washington County, Nebraska, situated along the Elkhorn River.

With 1,300 residents at the 2020 census, Arlington is the most populous village in Nebraska.

Arlington was originally called Bell Creek, after nearby Bell Creek, and was platted in 1869 when the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.

In 1882 Bell Creek was renamed Arlington because its name was too similar to that of another Nebraska place.

Arlington was once home to the Marshall Nurseries, an internationally acclaimed nursery credited with creating the Marshall seedless green ash, one of the most widely planted green ash cultivars in the United States.

The 2010 census counted 1,243 people in 495 households in Arlington, up from just 412 residents when the village was first counted in 1890.

Arlington covers 0.60 square miles, all land, at an elevation of about 1,211 feet, and uses ZIP code 68002.

The village has grown in nearly every census since 1940, helped by its position within commuting distance of Omaha and Fremont.

Local children attend Arlington Public Schools, whose campus serves the village and surrounding farm country.

Downtown Arlington centers on Eagle Street, its historic main street of brick storefronts.
