Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Our unique community, with roots dating back to 1805, is located on scenic bluffs overlooking the Mississippi river. The Sac and Fox Indians called this area "Shoquoquon" meaning Flint Hills, because of its abundance of flint gathering sites. After the Black Hawk war of 1832, Iowa was open for settlement and Burlington became the first Iowa territorial Capitol in 1838. As the capitol, Burlington played an active role in the early development of the region. The pioneer settlement was able to attract water and rail traffic and was able to capitalize on these transportation assets to develop industry and community growth. That growth continues today.
