Founded in 1909 as one of the earliest Catholic parishes in what was then Alexandria County, Saint Charles has grown alongside Arlington's development. Key milestones include the construction of its first Gothic-style church in 1911, a new church building in 1960, and a renovation in 1990. The parish formerly operated a full elementary school staffed by Benedictine Sisters until 2008; since 2014, it has maintained an early childhood education center. As of 2025, plans are underway for a major site redevelopment, including a new traditional church building.
