Cherrydale History & Neighborhoods Nearby
The name dates to 1893, when two local landowners applied for a Cherrydale post office, possibly named for a cherry orchard on what is now North Quincy Street. The first house lots were laid out around 1900, and a railroad line arrived in 1904, with streetcar service to Rosslyn starting in 1907. By 1926 there were twenty subdivisions.
Neighbors started a volunteer fire department in 1898, and the 1919 Cherrydale firehouse is on the National Register of Historic Places. In June 1960, a lunch counter sit-in in Cherrydale helped lead Arlington to become the first Virginia county to desegregate its lunch counters, and a plaque marks the event today.
The Cherrydale Historic District was added to the National Register in 2003. Arlington County notes that this listing is an honor and does not add special restrictions for owners.
Buyers who like Cherrydale often look at Lyon Village and North Highlands too. Which one fits is a matter of preference.
