Rosslyn (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell) is a heavily urbanized unincorporated area in Northern Virginia located in the northeastern corner of Arlington County, Virginia, north of Arlington National Cemetery and directly across the Potomac River from Georgetown and Foggy Bottom in Washington, D.C.
Rosslyn encompasses the Arlington neighborhoods of North Rosslyn and Radnor/Ft. Myer Heights, and is located east of Court House, another urbanized Arlington neighborhood. Characterized as one of several "urban villages" by the county, the numerous skyscrapers in the dense business section of Rosslyn make its appearance in some ways more urban than nearby Washington. Rosslyn residents have an average household income of $105,000 and 81% are college graduates.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Establishments in the neighborhood include Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned ABC affiliate WJLA located in the Rosslyn Twin Towers, and Marriott International's longest operating hotel, the former Key Bridge Marriott. Notable structures include the United States Marine Corps War Memorial, and the Netherlands Carillon and Freedom Park offer views of the Washington Monument and other Washington landmarks.
HistoryEdit
.jpg){kind=link}
During Virginia's colonial period, Rosslyn's shoreline included a landing for Awbrey's ferry, which transported travelers to and from Georgetown. A community that gradually developed behind the shore became known as Ross Lynn, the name of a local farm owned by William and Carolyn Ross.
19th centuryEdit
During the 1830s and 1840s, the Aqueduct Bridge was constructed between Georgetown and Rosslyn. When completed in 1843, this bridge carried the Alexandria Canal, which transported canal boats from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal in Georgetown to the downstream port of Alexandria, Virginia.<ref name=plaque>Rosslyn. Plaque posted in Gateway Park, Arlington, Virginia. County of Arlington.</ref>
Following the American Civil War in the 1860s, a lawless community developed at the base of the bridge. Known primarily for its gambling halls, pawnshops, saloons, brothels and unsavory inhabitants, the community failed to attract much development other than the Arlington Brewery, which became a Cherry Smash soft drink bottling plant after Prohibition went into effect. Eventually, spurred by the real estate potential that the arrival of electric trolleys in the 1890s inspired, developers and reformers ousted Rosslyn's more unsavory elements in the early 20th century. They organized under the name "Good Citizen's League" and nominated Captain Crandal Mackey as the Commonwealth's Attorney to fight corruption. Mackey, after being unsuccessfully challenged by the incumbent on legal grounds, won the election by two votes. When the sheriff did not execute Mackey's orders to clean up in Rosslyn, Mackey organized a group of thirty citizens to raid and destroy the saloons and gambling houses. This expedition took place of 30 May 1904.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
The area around Rosslyn remained dangerous, especially at night on the Falls Church Turnpike, now U.S. Route 29, Langston Boulevard. A short way past Rosslyn heading west was Dead Man's Hollow, near today's intersection with Spout Run. The name came from the occasional gruesome murders as the result of robberies.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
20th centuryEdit
In 1923, the Aqueduct Bridge connecting Rosslyn to Georgetown was replaced by the Francis Scott Key Memorial Bridge.<ref name=Keybridge>Template:Cite book</ref> In 1964, the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge opened to carry Interstate 66 (I-66) between Washington, D.C., and Rosslyn. Soon afterwards, a development boom in the 1960s began to revitalize Rosslyn with the construction of a large number of high-rise office buildings and hotels in its center and a smaller number of residential buildings on its outskirts. Arlington County widened Rosslyn's major streets to accommodate the increased motor vehicle traffic that this new development would bring. A skywalk system carried pedestrian traffic over these widened streets.<ref name=rosslyntransportpln>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While planners expected retail establishments to develop along the skywalks, few such establishments actually opened. As a result, the skywalk system attracted few pedestrians. The Arlington County government has since announced plans to dismantle some or all of the bridges that carry the skywalks over Rosslyn's broad streets.<ref name=skywalk>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
During the Watergate scandal of the early 1970s, "Deep Throat" (W. Mark Felt) passed information to Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward in the middle of the night in an underground parking garage at 1401 Wilson Boulevard in Rosslyn.<ref name=Woodward05>Template:Cite book</ref>
In 1977, Metrorail's Blue Line reached Rosslyn. In subsequent years, the Blue Line and the Orange Line were extended from an underground junction near the Rosslyn station to serve Northern Virginia's suburbs. In the early 1980s, I-66 was extended through Rosslyn to reach the Capital Beltway. The extensions of Metrorail and I-66 attracted additional high-rise development to Rosslyn.<ref name=Metrohist>Template:Cite book</ref>
21st centuryEdit
In 2003, the Virginia Baseball Stadium Authority attempted to attract the relocating Montréal Expos to Northern Virginia by proposing three Arlington County locations for a new baseball stadium. Two sites were in the urban village of Pentagon City; the third was a site in the southeastern corner of Rosslyn that was already occupied by four cooperative buildings, formerly the historic Arlington Towers, which were the first high-rise towers in Arlington County, now known as River Place.<ref name=2003baseballsites>Template:Cite news</ref> The issue proved highly divisive, and Virginia's bid failed when Virginia Governor Mark Warner ruled out state financing for stadium construction.<ref name=arlruledout>Template:Cite news</ref> The Expos moved to D.C. after the 2004 season to become the Washington Nationals, with a new stadium built in southeast Washington.<ref name=expos>Template:Cite news</ref>
In 2013, the Georgetown Business Improvement District proposed a gondola lift between Georgetown and Rosslyn as an alternative to placing a Metro stop at Georgetown in its 2013-2028 economic plans.<ref name=dcgondola1>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Washington, D.C., and Arlington County have been conducting feasibility studies for it since 2016.<ref name=dcgondola1/>
EconomyEdit

The original corporate headquarters of USA Today, owned by the Gannett Company, was located in Rosslyn. Both the company and the newspaper occupied two high-rise silver-colored towers, built in the early 1980s, which adjoin each other at 1000 and 1100 Wilson Boulevard. Gannett did not own these buildings, and moved from their original home to a new campus in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2002. In the same year, the ABC-affiliate in Washington, D.C., WJLA-TV, "ABC 7", moved their main studios into the space in Rosslyn previously occupied by USA Today.<ref name=ch7>Template:Cite news</ref>
Federal agencies based in Rosslyn include the U.S. Trade and Development Agency, the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations, the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, and the Bureau of Diplomatic Security. The Department of State has several office locations in Rosslyn.
Nonprofits based in Rosslyn include the American Institute in Taiwan.
As of 2010, Rosslyn has Template:Convert of office space and 6,365 housing units.<ref>Building A Skyline Template:Webarchive</ref> Some of the tallest condominium buildings in the Washington metropolitan area are located in Rosslyn. In particular, the Waterview and Turnberry Tower.<ref name=fleishman06>Template:Cite news</ref>
Construction of 1812 N Moore in Rosslyn began in 2010, and in late 2013 it became the tallest building in the Washington metropolitan area.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2017, the international food and beverage company Nestlé S.A. announced that it would move its U.S. corporate headquarters from California to this building.
In order to make the area more walkable, Rosslyn's elevated walkways and other urban peculiarities are planned to be demolished or modified, along with lanes being removed or reversed.

The Netherlands Carillon in Rosslyn is a set of 50 bells housed in a 12-story tower between Arlington National Cemetery and the Marine Corps War Memorial. The carillon is a gift from the Netherlands to the US in recognition of support received during World War II. Originally installed with 49 bells, a 50th was added by the Netherlands in 1995 on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. Each spring the grounds are planted with thousands of tulips imported from the Netherlands. During the summer months carilloneurs play concerts on the bells using a keyboard located in the tower. The tower is occasionally open to the public and offers views of the national monuments in Washington, DC, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
