Burlington is a village in Kane County, Illinois, United States. The population was 429 as of 2022 estimates. It was incorporated as a village on November 6, 1990.
Burlington was platted by Andrew Pingree in 1851. It is located on the former Illinois Central Railroad [4] which runs through the south edge of the village. In 1878, the area had three cheese factories, a general store, a hotel and a saloon. A post office under the name "Burlington" has been in operation since 1865. [5] The last dairy plant closed in the 1970s.
Since the early 1990s, Burlington has been home to two small plastics companies. Concerns have been raised over the environmental impact these plants will have on the town and surrounding areas in the future. On November 6, 1990, Burlington was incorporated as a village, along with nearby Lily Lake and Virgil, in an effort to establish stricter guidelines regarding plastic manufacturing and chemical dumping in the area. [6]
From 1910 to 2019, Burlington held an annual fall festival on the first week of September every year.
Burlington is located near the intersection of Plank Road and Burlington Road. [7] The village consists of a small "downtown" section, and is surrounded mostly by horse ranches and cornfields. It lies approximately halfway between Elgin and Sycamore, and is 20 miles north of the City of Aurora.
