City of Burlington, WI

The City of Burlington was settled in 1835 by Moses Smith and William Whiting. Since then Burlington has become home to the Nestle Chocolate factory, and nearly 10,600 residents. Located on the White and Fox rivers, the city offers the best of all seasons. Our family-oriented neighborhoods offer small-town charm and a safe environment for your children to grow. Positioned near quality schools, parks, and medical facilities, Burlington is a great place to relocate at any age.

Situated between Milwaukee and Chicago, the city is centrally located with effective transportation provided by four major highways. From the many "mom and pop" retail and service businesses that occupy Burlington's historic downtown, there is a wide diversity of commercial operations, outlying shopping centers and big box stores. The enhancement of the riverfront, improved traffic flow, a newly built parking structure downtown, local art fairs, weekly farmers market, sidewalk celebrations, festivals, live music and a historic downtown business district will make shopping and doing business in Burlington both inviting and personal.
