Burlington, one of Colorado's best kept secrets with 256 days of sunshine a year!

The Community Burlington The City of Burlington is in Kit Carson County, Colorado. The city population was 4,254 as of the 2010 United States Census. Burlington was originally laid out one mile west of its present location in 1887 by a man named Lowell in anticipation of the arrival of the railroad. In addition to having the location wrong, Lowell also did not have title to the land. When the railroad did arrive, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, it built its depot at the present site of Burlington and those who had built in Old Burlington moved their buildings to the new townsite. Trains began running in 1888. "The Settlement", about 12 miles northwest of Burlington, was settled by German immigrants from Russia, many from Hoffnungstal, South Russia, who, in addition to their homesteads, built Congregational and Lutheran churches. Agriculture and livestock operations make up the base of Burlington's economy, but they are also players in the renewable energy markets.
