Город Арлингтон был зафрахтован 28 июля 1761 года губернатором Нью-Гэмпшира Беннингом Вентвортом в рамках грантов Нью-Гэмпшира . В 1777 году Арлингтон стал первой столицей республики Вермонт .
Среди первых поселенцев в Арлингтоне были капитан Джехил Хоули и его семья, которые поселились там к 1764 году. Они были англиканами и бежали из Роксбери, штат Коннектикут , из-за жестких требований установленной конгрегационалистской церкви . На собрании собственников в 1764 году город проголосовал за предоставление 50 акров (20 гектаров) земли любому человеку, который построит мельницу на территории нынешнего Восточного Арлингтона . Это предложение было принято Помните Бейкером (двоюродным братом Итана Аллена), который построил засыпку и лесопилку.
В годы, предшествовавшие Американской революции, и Нью-Йорк, и Нью-Гэмпшир претендовали на земли, составляющие нынешний Вермонт. Провинции Нью - Йорк начали предоставлять землю в 1765 году, отставая Нью - Гемпшир на четыре года. Арлингтон был по большей части заселен англиканцами из Роксбери, Ньютауна и Милфорда , Коннектикут , с правами собственности, полученными в рамках Грантов Нью-Гэмпшира.
Когда прибыли поселенцы с грантами Нью-Йорка, начались конфликты. Среди прочего, жители Арлингтона полагались на воинственность Итана Аллена, чтобы отговорить тех, кто рекламировал гранты Нью-Йорка. Итан Аллен и его группа были известны их друзьям как Green Mountain Boys . Они были относительно эффективны в продвижении дела получателей грантов в Нью-Гэмпшире, хотя юридические права собственности не были урегулированы денежными средствами в течение многих лет.
Several members of the Green Mountain Boys lived in Arlington before the American Revolution, including Thomas Chittenden, Seth Warner and Remember Baker, who was the first town clerk. Gideon Hard, a congressman from New York, was born in Arlington.[4] During the American Revolutionary War, the Patriot soldiers of the Green Mountain Boys rallied against Loyalist opposition in the town. British Loyalist citizens in Arlington, united under the leadership of Dr. Samuel Adams, organized an independent military unit, Adams' Rangers, to support the British war effort in the region. In 1777, Adams' men saw action, fighting for British General John Burgoyne at the Battle of Saratoga in the Province of New York and were soundly defeated.
