Town of Burlington

History

Burlington, formally known as North West Arm, came into known existence around the early 1800s, when the White family settled in what they called White's Point. At the time, residents stuck "North West Arm" on the land, and it was called that from its beginning until the year 1914 or 1915, when other residents decided that the name must be changed. Government records lead us to think that the change took place in 1915, since this was the year "Burlington" is used on their writings, however some people still think it took place in 1914.
