Burlington, IA is situated near the Mississippi River in Des Moines County and is home to one of the world’s most crooked alleys—Snake Alley. The city is surrounded by a myriad of outdoor recreation, family activities, and dining experiences. It sits in the middle of a metropolitan region with the surrounding areas being West Burlington, Middle Town, and Gulf Port.
Burlington is a rapidly growing city in many different areas. The downtown area is full of shops and places to eat as well as historical homes lining the downtown streets. The city is also home to the famous NFL quarterback Kurt Warner who won two NFL MVP awards. On summer nights you will hear your city’s pride for their semi-pro baseball team—the Burlington Bees—straight from your home’s backyard. Burlington is also home to Iowa’s oldest newspaper, The Hawk Eye. Lastly, the first backhoes rolled off the assembly line at the Burlington Backhoe plant in 1967, which is now the only plant in the United States that produces the Case Loader/Backhoe, giving Burlington the nickname Backhoe Capital of the World.
