| Glencarlyn is a
quiet, historic neighborhood originally established in 1896. There are about 600 homes in
the community situated at the south-west corner of Arlington County. |
| The Glencarlyn Citizen's
Association acts as the voice of the community. Within the community it
helps to organize a number of neighborhood events, including the annual Glencarlyn Day
Parade, a colorful Halloween Party, and the Christmas Luminaria that lights up the
neighborhood streets. The Association provides a forum for debating community issues, and
ensuring the local County and business representatives is responsive to Glencarlyn's
interests. |
| Our monthly newsletter, The
Village View, keeps residents informed about local issues and what's
happening with our neighbors. The Village View was first published in 1903. |
