The land in the Burlington area went to Samuel Willis and 63 others in 1763. After a period of land clearing, the town was established in 1785. It was chartered as a city in 1865.
By the 19th century, Burlington began to take advantage of its location on Lake Champlain as a trading port. The completion of the Champlain Canal in 1823 and the Erie Canal in 1825 further helped to increase trade through the town.
