The neighborhood that I'm covering is Westover, Arlington, Virginia. Westover was built in the 19th century. It started out as mostly farmland but began to expand as time went on. Westover neighborhood is located between Ballston station and the East Falls Church metro stations. When first founded, Arlington belonged to a man named Nicholas Febrey, who was a civic leader. After becoming more industrial with trains, in 1938, more apartment buildings began to construct so that allowed more people to populate Westover. Today, Westover still has family-owned stores that started up around the time that Westover became more populated and some changes have been changed but not much.
