Arlington Cemetary got its name from General Robert E. Lee's home, Arlington House. You can still view the house on the Cemetary's grounds, today. The land that makes up Arlington Cemetary was confiscated during the Civil War by the U.S. government. They needed a place to bury the dead and it was the perfect punishment for Robert E. Lee for fighting for the South.
If you mean the Arlington House, also known as the Robert E. Lee Memorial, was built in 1803. It was once the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. During the American Civil War, it became the official site of the Arlington National Cemetary in 1864.
