Unincorporated Rosslyn offers great views and beautiful landscapes in Arlington County, Virginia. The area sits in view of the Potomac River, The Arlington Cemetary, and Washington, D.C. Rosslyn is also home to the United States Marine Corps War Memorial and Freedom Park.

The name Rosslyn came from a local farm behind the shore. The farm was known as Ross Lynn, owned by William and Carolyn Ross. In the 1860's Rosslyn's largest development was a large brewery. It was changed to the Cherry Crush Bottling Co. after prohibition. When electric trolleys were introduced the real estate business picked up.

Some of the more prominent businesses of Rosslyn include the "ABC" T.V. Affiliate, and the Art Institute of Washington. In the 1960's Rosslyn had a development growth with the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge. This brought construction of high rise office buildings, hotels, and living spaces.

Rosslyn is a beautiful place to visit or live with it's unique history and views.
