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.

Burlington is a community with a long and interesting history, and in 2006, members of the Burlington CAP Site produced The History of Burlingon: The Lives We Lived. They endevoured to chroncicle Burlington's past, and did so with the help of many residents. With those stories, plus government records, and patience, they compiled this book. What follows is the internet version, based on the 2nd edition (revised in 2007). Townofburlington.ca thanks Josh Thomas, April Kelly, Robin Lush, Jordan Foster, and all others who volunteered their time.
