Before World War II, the Fairlington area of Arlington, VA was just farmland—but after the attack on Pearl Harbor, it became the largest Defense Department housing project in the U.S. Designed in the colonial revival style, Fairlington provided homes for government and defense workers and fostered a tight-knit community.

The Shirlington neighborhood in South Arlington, Virginia was originally developed in 1943 and quickly became one of the largest shopping centers in the Washington, D.C. area. Today Shirlington is home to WETA, which began broadcasting in 1961 and has evolved to become one of the largest producing stations in public media.
