About Town of Burlington, MA

Burlington’s origins as a small agricultural community are scarcely

visible today, but remnants persist in roads that still crisscross its hilly

terrain and in a few, prized historic properties. The remaining historic

buildings once served as farm houses, taverns, homes, and schools along

the winding roads when Burlington was a sparsely settled corner of

a Boston-centric region. The rural characteristics of the community

persisted from its settlement in 1641 for nearly 300 years. By 1950,

the census recorded only 3,250 residents. But suddenly, Burlington was

transformed by powerful shifts in regional economics, demographic

and transportation during the second half of the twentieth century. Today Burlington is home to a robust and diverse collection of commercial enterprises within the retail, life science, technology, and medical sectors. Approximately 150,000 people per day flock to the Town to work, eat, shop, play or take advantage of the numerous outdoor recreation areas. Our population represents a broad range of cultures and backgrounds and we are proud to showcase and celebrate the diversity within our community.
