Welcome to the City of Burlington.

For over 120 years, the City of Burlington has been one of the most progressive Cities on the Eastern Plains. With a welcoming atmosphere to business, activities and recreation for people of all ages, affordable housing, excellent schools and much more, Burlington is a wonderful place to live, work and play.

It has a population of nearly 4,000 residents. The community is a trade center for many of the region's activities including agriculture, cattle, medical, education and recreation. It is the county seat of Kit Carson County where the sun shines over 95 percent of the days each year. Topography is nearly level being 4,163 feet above sea level.

Established in the 1880’s, the community was built to support the railroad. As agriculture began to boom in the region, Burlington quickly became the commerce capitol of the area.

Burlington is also home of the historic Kit Carson County Carousel, which was awarded the Governor’s Award for Historic Preservation in 2007. The Carousel was originally located at Elitch Gardens in Denver. A complement to the history of the region, Burlington also houses the wonderful and historic Old Town Museum. A treasure of the pioneer days, Old Town gives visitors a chance to experience life in the simpler, nostalgic days of the Wild West.

Whether you are visiting Burlington, traveling through, or looking at business opportunities, remember: Burlington loves company.
