Burlington History

Prior to the American settlement, the area was neutral territory for the Sac and Fox Indians, who called it “Shoquoquon” (Shok-ko-kon), meaning Flint Hills. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson organized two parties of explorers to map the Louisiana Purchase. Lewis and Clark followed the Missouri River, while Lt. Zebulon Pike followed the Mississippi River. In 1805, Pike landed at the bluffs below Burlington and raised the United States Flag for the first time on Iowa soil. In 1833, William R. Ross crossed the Mississippi River and established a General Store. In November and December, he surveyed the land for Samuel White and David Tothero and they allowed the purchaser of the first lot—John Gray—to rechristen the town. For $50, Gray named it after his hometown of Burlington, VT.

Attractions & Entertainment

Burlington has many different attractions and events constantly going all year around. One of Burlington’s biggest attractions is Snake Alley, the world’s most crooked alley, which has even been confirmed by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! Another attraction is Crapo Park which spreads along the mighty Mississippi River. Crapo Park is 85 acres of everything a park should hold, including an arboretum and botanical garden. It is also rumored to be where the American flag was placed on Iowa soil for the first time. Burlington’s most popular festival is Oktoberfest which happens along the Mississippi River. Another event Burlington is famous for is their Annual Steamboat Days American Music Festival, a June Music festival held on the Burlington riverfront.
