Burlington has a fascinating history dating back to the early 19th century when it was settled by Loyalists and European immigrants. Initially an agricultural hub due to its fertile soil, Burlington officially became a village in 1833. Over time, it expanded and, in 1958, merged with neighbouring townships to become the dynamic city it is today. Known as the "Garden of Canada" for its stunning natural beauty along Lake Ontario, Burlington's commitment to preserving its heritage and embracing modern urban development has created a unique blend of history and progress in this livable city.
